That seems to be the best call indeed. Then I wonder if we should just 
set the default larger if CONFIG_ARM64 because the problem should arise 
almost in all case, I believe. There is a similar define in 
sunxi-common.h for example.

But anyway, that's a larger debate, I'll send another patch with the 
ARM64 check in the header file.

Yes, sorry about that. Only realized it later...
