My bad (and this illustrates my point about not deviating from the
original when there is a need for two copies of the code to exist in
the same tree, only not in the way I thought)
So the ARM code is correct, and the arm64 version deviates from it,
and introduces the issue you are reporting.
I agree that initializing tinst2 to 0 is the appropriate course of action here.
