+// Some (old) Linux kernels on ARM have a bug where a signal handler
+// can be called without clearing the IT bits in CPSR first. The result
+// is that the first few instructions of the handler could be skipped,
+// ultimately resulting in crashes. To workaround this bug, the handler
+// on ARM is a trampoline that starts with enough NOP instructions, so
+// that even if the IT bits are not cleared, only the NOP instructions
+// will be skipped over.
