Hm, shouldn't we check to see if this is actually a semihosting
breakpoint? This involves reading the prior and posterior
instructions, which might be a bit too much. Alternatively, we
could only take this trap if semihosting_enabled(), which would
limit any suppression of spurious breakpoints to one instruction.

The rest looks fine.
