Huh!

When I was generating configs, I never did anything very special to
ensure continued aarch64 support in new kernel series except for `make
ARCH=arm64 oldconfig`.

It would be useful if others would help by testing the patches adding
new kernel series on aarch64 or other non-x86_64 platforms. In my
observation that rarely happens. And then bugs like this can slip in.

Thanks Wilko! Let us know if we can help.
