Probably not, and it's not obvious how to make it work for T2 kernel
builds.  For the time being, I'm going to make this available only for
native ARM builds.  We can think about how to make this work for T2
sometime later.

Indeed, that's only half of the problem.  On T2, some of these may be
16-bit values, others may be 32-bit values, and this mechanism has no
way to know the size of the areas.

Fixed.

Already fixed.

Maybe, but if we restrict this to only ARM builds for the time being,
there isn't a problem.
