 According to ARM EHABI 8.4.1, __cxa_end_cleanup() should not clobber any
 register, thus we have to write this function in assembly so that we can save
 {r1, r2, r3}.  We don't have to save r0 because it is the return value and the
-first argument to _Unwind_Resume().  In addition, we are saving r4 in order to
-align the stack to 16 bytes, even though it is a callee-save register.
