Looks like arm64 has a pretty similar pattern.  They've got the __force 
__typeof__ already, but given the similarity it might be worth 
refactoring these to share the error checking code.

I'll give this a bit of time like usual, unless anyone's opposed I'll 
put it on fixes.  I wasn't planning on sending a PR this week anyway due

Thanks!
