Oh no, I don't think anyone will say it's unnecessary!
I agree the A64_FP-related change is a good idea, so stack unwinding works.

How about splitting this into two patches? One for the BPF-related
bug, and another for A64 FP-handling.

Thanks again for tracking this down and improving things overall for arm64 :)
