I don't think this significantly affect the ABI, as it is pretty
unlikely that you'd have been able to execute the result, at least on
VM creation (set PSTATE.M=USR, start executing, get the page fault on
the first instruction... bang).
You could have tricked it in other ways, but at the end of the day
you're running a broken hypervisor on an even more broken system...
Anyway, I've applied this to fixes.
Thanks,
