Hi,
This came up when trying to move ARC over to generic word-at-a-time
interface.
- 1/4 is a trivial fix (and needed for ARC switch)
- 2/4 is mucking with internals hence the RFC. I could very likely be
overlooking some possible DoS / exploit issues and apologies in advance
if thats the case but I felt like sharing it anyways to see what
others think.
- 3/4, 4/4 are ARC changes to remove the existing ARC version and
switch to generic (needs 1/4).
Thx,
-Vineet
