I tested aarch64-linux and arm-elf-eabi (I'm currently 8 time zones away from
my arm-linux-eabihf box, so using sim).

I didn't know about the thumb1 restriction.  I had assumed somehow that we'd
just use branch insns to form whatever cstore* is required.  I suppose it's
easy enough to generate an error/sorry for asm-flags in thumb1 mode.

As for thumb2, correct behaviour comes from the existing cstore* patterns, and
the testsuite need not check for IT specifically because unified asm syntax
says that the insns that are conditional under the IT should still bear the
conditions themselves.

I presume I can test both of these cases with arm-elf-eabi + -mthumb{1,2}?
