If there is an arm64 config that breaks, let's revert the patch that
introduces the breakage (ce3dd55), because it doesn't look like we're
making forward progress on this (and given that we're -rc6, that's
probably a suitable course of action).

We can always merge the fixed patch when the interested parties have
settled on a suitable shade of green for the shed...

Thanks,
