Arm: Backport hlt to all architectures.
The software trap instruction HLT that was introduced in Armv8-a is used as the semihosting trap instruction in AArch64. In order to allow systems configured to run AArch64 code to also run AArch32 with semihosting it was decided that AArch32 should also use HLT in the case of the "mixed mode" environment. This requires that HLT also be backported to all earlier architectures. The instruction is in the undefined encoding space earlier architectures but must trigger a semihosting trap [3]. The Arm Architectural Reference Manual [1] doesn't explicitly mention this however this is an explicit requirement in the Semihosting-v2 protocol [2].
