Sorry for the delay, for some reason this series has all ended up in my
spam! I'll take a look this week. If it looks good, do you mind if I queue
those two patches in arm64 on a stable branch for you to pull as well? We've
got a few other (non-BPF) changes pending to the instruction decoder, and
I'd like to avoid conflicts if we can.

Cheers,

Will
