This line may need a line feed?

The patch 1~3 looks good to me. Coiby encountered the same issue
on arm64, and has posted a patch series to fix that and there's clean up
and code adjustment.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220401013118.348084-1-coxu@redhat.com/T/#u

Hi Coiby,

Maybe you can check this patchset, and consider how to integrate your
patches based on this patch 1~/3?

For this patch itself, ack.
