Remove an undesirable use of the CPSR symbol ... it needs to vanish.
Flag mode-to-number stuff as obsolete; say why ... should also vanish.
Get rid of no-longer-used mode and state typedefs.
Comment a few of the implicit ties to "classic ARM".

Clean up arm_semihosting() entry a bit, comment some issues and just
which SVC opcodes are getting intercepted. Microcontroller profile
cores will need a new entry, since they use BKPT instead (and don't
have either SVC mode or an SPSR register).

Store a flag and errno in in "struct arm".
Have "poll" output report when semihosting is active.
Shrink some of the affected lines.

Semihosting enables code running on an ARM target to use the
I/O facilities on the host computer. The target application must
be linked against a library that forwards operation requests by
using the SVC instruction that is trapped at the Supervisor Call
vector by the debugger. The "hosted" library version provided
with CodeSourcery's Sourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI is one example.
This is currently available for ARM9 processors, but any ARM
variant should be able to support this with little additional work.
Tested using binaries compiled with Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-161
and ARM RVCT 3.0.
