I don't have a strong view on this, only if there's a risk at some point
of the implementations diverging (e.g. quirks). We can revisit it if
that happens.

It may be worth swapping patches 1 and 2 so that you don't have an
arm64_* function in the core code after the first patch (more of a
nitpick). Either way, feel free to add my ack on both patches:
