I don't want any weak definition and arch to override as we know only
arm64 and RISC-V are the only users and they are aligned to have same
implementation. So weak definition doesn't make sense to me.

Ah OK, good.

That would be great, thanks. You can most the code to move to generic from
both arm64 and risc-v once we have this in v5.20-rc1
