You should go talk with ARM about it, I'm sure they'll be very
reasonable with you.  And accommodating.

In the meantime, we have to live with the chips that exist and the
ones coming down the pipe.  Until ARM and all their licensees start
consulting us on such matters, we'll just have to find a way to deal
with what we're given after the fact.
