Yes, I am not too worried about arc since it doesn't break anything.
But as you mention it would be better if the whole job could be done
by the same patch. The problem here is the merge order, for me to
address this I need to work after your patches. So maybe in the end my
series should be merged at the end of the merge window, and after all
architecture code is merged, to make sure I can address all instances.
