Touche. :) Thanks for the reminder.

Well, as I already said I'm ok with things going into arch/arm to
start with, as long as Russell is. Once we see 64-bit needs for the
same we'll move it out -- it's not like it's a whole lot of code to
start with. But Russell has veto on the topic. :-)

Russell still has his pull requests outstanding so I'm not sure where
things are at, but I don't think this will miss 3.14 at this rate.
