qemu-system-arm regression with Qemu 9.0.0

Host environment

• Operating system: Debian 11
• OS/kernel version: Linux helium 5.10.0-27-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.205-2 (2023-12-31) x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Architecture: ARM
• QEMU flavor: qemu-system-arm
• QEMU version: 9.0.0
• QEMU command line: qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -nographic -cpu cortex-a9 -net user -net nic,model=lan9118 -dtb vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb -kernel qemu-arm-vexpress-a9-initramfspiggyback-kernel -qmp tcp:127.0.0.1:4444,server,nowait -no-reboot

Emulated/Virtualized environment

• Operating system: OpenADK with uClibc-ng
• OS/kernel version: Linux 6.6.28
• Architecture: ARMv7 (thumb2)

Description of problem

Bootup of the userland crashes:

[    1.713693] Run /init as init process
[    2.372470] Alignment trap: not handling instruction f8530b04 at [<0001225a>]

Steps to reproduce

wget https://debug.openadk.org/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb

wget https://debug.openadk.org/qemu-arm-vexpress-a9-initramfspiggyback-kernel

qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -nographic -cpu cortex-a9 -net user -net nic,model=lan9118 -dtb vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb -kernel qemu-arm-vexpress-a9-initramfspiggyback-kernel -qmp tcp:127.0.0.1:4444,server,nowait -no-reboot

Additional information

It works fine for ARM instruction set, but not for Thumb2.
