Interesting that it took this long to notice.

Not surprising considering that LAM isn't actually available, but I'd
have expected the arm people to notice more. Yes, I have (and test) my
arm64 laptop, but I obviously don't do user space debugging on it.
Apparently others don't either.

Or maybe TBI is used a lot less than I thought.

Anyway, obviously applied,
