Of course, you're absolutely right that we can't break the build. I
was afraid that this dependency might cause trouble.

I noticed Magnus posted a pull request a few days ago containing the
"alpha: enable GENERIC_ENTRY" series [1]. It seems this will get
resolved during the current merge window.

For future reference, what's the best way to handle dependencies on
other subsystem changes like this?
