I think it would be far better to restrict the indirect_jump expander's 
predicate to just s_register_operand (a subset of register_operand).  The 
cse/combine patches can then generate the extended forms of indirect jump 
(eg from an address in memory) that are supported in ARM mode.

ergo:

;; Basic form supported by both targets.
(define_expand "indirect_jump"
  [(set (pc)
	(match_operand:SI 0 "s_register_operand" ""))]
  "TARGET_EITHER"
  ""
)

R.
