Sorry for leaving this patch alone for so long.

Can you please just repost a (rebased) V3 with the history below the cut 
line so that it does not appear in the commit message? As it is not a 
fix but was tested on two different ARM archs, I think I'll add it to 
master rather than next so that it goes into mainline without delay.

Amicalement,
