Small question : Why don't you restrict to 64bit kernels only ? From
what I remember from some discussions with ST, trying to use a 32-bit
kernel on 2f is a nice way to get troubles. It would be better imho to
forbid such a configuration. As a side effect, this will remove all
'defined(CONFIG_64BIT)' parts of your #ifdef tests.
