Are these the only remaining warnings we have in the arm64 selftests
build?

Faster than me paging this test back in: Raghu, are we missing any test
cases upstream that these helpers were intended for? If no, mind sending
a patch to get rid of them?

Nothing comes to mind. We need to bite the bullet and make the switch.
There might be breakage, but we can certainly handle that.
