I suggest putting the comment within the #if block, and write:

#if defined(__thumb__) || defined(__thumb2__)
  /* Although Thumb functions are two-byte aligned, function
     pointers have the Thumb bit set.  Clear it.  */
  func_addr &= ~1;
#endif

(This bit is widely known as the "Thumb bit", so call it that,
and remove a few "the"'s that sound odd to me, and say
"two-byte aligned".)

Otherwise looks good.

Thanks,
