Normally my response would be "nope" because the time for getting stuff
into tip for the upcoming merge window has come and gone.

However, in this particular case I think we may be OK because it's
simple macro munging, and we can prove by looking at the generated
object code before and after that there's zero changes (which I did).

So it really comes down to what Peter and Ingo are comfortable with.

Peter, Ingo, I've attached the patch. Do you think this is something
that we could get in for the merge window, possibly the end so it gets
some time to bake in linux-next? It would help the ARM folks out for the
next cycle because it's one less dependency they need to track.
