Sure thing, thanks. I'll get it into -next along with the arm64 bits for
5.8, but I'll send it as a separate pull when the time comes. I'll also
include the sparc32 changes because otherwise the build falls apart and
we'll get an army of angry robots yelling at us (they seem to form the
majority of the active sparc32 user base afaict).
