So this basically means the code paths you're touching are untested on
ARM... given that, and the variety of systems we have out there, why
should the patches touching ARM be taken?

Given that you're an ARM Ltd employee, I'm sure you can find 32-bit
systems to test - or have ARM Ltd got rid of everything that isn't
64-bit? ;)
