Hi all,

According to ARMARM, the behavior of instructions with register-shifted register
is unpredictable when PC is used in any field.

For example, the behavior of following instructions are all unpredictable:
cmn pc, r1, lsr r2
cmn r0, pc, lsr r2
cmn r0, r1, lsr pc

This patch produces warnings for this case.
arm-none-eabi binutils regression checked Okay.

Okay for trunk?

Regards,
Renlin
