Yes, that'd be good.

I still have these patches stashed somewhere (I remember sunxi being one
of the offender as well). I also need to come up with a software
workaround enabling the 8kB region with the old DT (because it is likely
that KVM will stop working on them if we merge Christoffer's timer patches).
