Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] arm: Replace this_cpu_* with raw_cpu_* in
 panic_bad_stack()

Please distinguish your patches/patch series between arch/arm and
arch/arm64. The two are maintained separately, and it gets quite
annoying to read messages nd then realise that they're not for 32-bit
ARM, but are for arm64/aarch64.

Thanks.
