Well, ideally, create a separate branch containing these cross-tree
commits based on vanilla.  Then pull this branch to both arm (or your)
and sound trees.  In that way, both trees share the same commits in
the least amount.

I basically don't like to rebase and the commits have been already in
sound tree, but if this is the only way and Russell prefers this, it
can be a possible option.
