This line may need a line feed?

The patch 1~3 looks good to me. Coiby encountered the same issue
on arm64, and has posted a patch series to fix that and there's clean up
and code adjustment.

Hi Coiby,

Maybe you can check this patchset, and consider how to integrate your
patches based on this patch 1~/3?

For this patch itself, ack.
