As we have had a complaint from Linus about pointless churn, and this
approach causes unnecessary churn, I will refuse to apply this.  Fix
the thing properly (it's not hard) or don't bother trying to fix it at
all.

All you need do is to use your initial patch, but change the addruart to
the following:

	.macro	addruart, rp, rv
	mov	rv, #0xff000000
	orr	rv, rv, #0x00f00000
	.endm

and you commit the result.  Problem fixed in one go, both from the
compile point of view _and_ the runtime point of view.  It's really
not difficult.
