This can be fixed with the following:

ARM(	orr	r11, r10, r9, lsl r5	) /* factor way and cache number into r11 */
ARM(	orr	r11, r11, r7, lsl r2	) /* factor index number into r11 */
THUMB(	lsl	r6, r9, r5		)
THUMB(	orr	r11, r10, r6		) /* factor way and cache number into r11 */
THUMB(	lsl	r6, r7, r2		)
THUMB(	orr	r11, r11, r6		) /* factor index number into r11 */

Just how it is done in arch/arm/cpu/cache-armv7.S. Anyway, this is
only the top of the iceberg. All Assembly code must be carefully
reviewed in thumb mode and omap3 has quite a lot of it. I managed
to start a second stage barebox (compiled with xloader defconfig +
THUMB) in which I commented out arch_init_lowlevel() and
board_init_lowlevel().

I see if I can sort some of this stuff out on the weekend.
