 Thumb load / store address mode offsets are scaled. The values kept in the
 instruction operands are pre-scale values. This probably ought to be changed
 to avoid extra work when we convert Thumb2 instructions to Thumb1 instructions.

+We need to make (some of the) Thumb1 instructions predicable. That will allow
+shrinking of predicated Thumb2 instructions. To allow this, we need to be able
+to toggle the 's' bit since they do not set CPSR when they are inside IT blocks.

+Rather than having tBR_JTr print a ".align 2" and constant island pass pad it,
+add a target specific ALIGN instruction instead. That way, GetInstSizeInBytes
+won't have to over-estimate. It can also be used for loop alignment pass.
