So Linus proposed a clean solution which might be harder to backport
but looks better for 5.8. However the attached one addresses the issue
for me on arm64 and still works on x86_64, arm, mips. I think we should
go with this one first then apply Linus' one on top of it to be long
term proof, and backport only the first one. Linus ?
