Sorry to be blunt, but no. I've requested several times for that series to be broken down into something which is actually reviewable, and because that has not been done, I'm doing it at the fastest pace my other priorities allow. Notice how 2/3 of the patches in the past year have been bits specifically carved out of the ARM series, or improvements to prevent the ARM series introducing technical debt. Furthermore, you've not taken the "build ARM in CI" patch that I wrote specifically for you to be part of the series, and you've got breakages to x86 from rebasing. At this point, I am not interested in seeing any work which is not morphing (and mostly pruning) the arm-wip branch down into a set of clean build system modifications that can bootstrap the as-minimal-as-I-can-make-it stub. As it turns out, I've found the arm64 bug (it was a typo in asm), and the arm32 bug (issue with the compiler flags, affecting all the arm branches thus far). When the minimum stub is working and merged, we can then see about working up to getting the selftest working for arm32/64. ~Andrew
