I think I got the same merge resolution except for the ordering of the
arm64_features[] table, where I made ARM64_HAS_VIRT_HOST_EXTN go after
ARM64_ALT_PAN_NOT_UAO, the way it is numbered. That shouldn't matter.

But since I don't do cross builds or test arm64, you should
double-check that I didn't screw something up. (it's not pushed out
quite yet, since my build is still going, but it should be out
soonish)

Thanks,
