We currently use a padding NOP after a Thumb to Arm interworking veneer (BX pc).
The NOP is never executed but may result in a performance penalty on some cores.
For this reason this patch changes the NOPs after Thumb to Arm veneers into B .-2
and adds a note to this in the source code for future reference.
