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.
