Like so (based on above patch and not even compile tested):

diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h

Not as efficient as it could be but I imagine the macros could
be written to support optional load of \tsk and/or optional \tmp
parameters to cover other common cases.
