As the pull request's comment says, we do need the per-arch asm-prototypes.h
patches.  I've just checked on x86: still broken with current mainline,
works with my patch from 20161102121427.10103-1-kilobyte@...band.pl;
I suspect the arm counterpart (patch by Arnd Bergmann) is also needed
(you just commented on that thread).
