Noncached Thumb instruction fetches

Thumb instruction fetches are performed as 32-bit accesses on the AHB interface. To 
minimize bus loading, AHB transfers are only performed for nonsequential addresses 
and for sequential addresses that cross a word boundary. The word returned from main 
memory is latched so that both halfwords are available for the processor core.
