Reserved, RES0.
State3, [15:12]
Indicates support for Thumb Execution Environment (T32EE) instruction set. This value is:
0x0 Processor does not support the T32EE instruction set.
State2, [11:8]
Indicates support for Jazelle. This value is:
0x1 Processor supports trivial implementation of Jazelle.
State1, [7:4]
Indicates support for T32 instruction set. This value is:
0x3 Processor supports T32 encoding after the introduction of Thumb-2 technology, and
for all 16-bit and 32-bit T32 basic instructions.
State0, [3:0]
Indicates support for A32 instruction set. This value is:
0x1 A32 instruction set implemented.
