Build results:
	total: 139 pass: 138 fail: 1
Failed builds:
	arm64:allmodconfig

Qemu test results:
	total: 95 pass: 93 fail: 2
Failed tests:
	arm64:smp:defconfig
	arm64:nosmp:defconfig

arm64:allmodconfig fails to build due to a crash in recordmcount, which
is caused by 'recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop'.
That bug can be fixed by applying upstream commit c84da8b9ad37 ("recordmcount:
Fix endianness handling bug for nop_mcount"). However, that does not help,
because after applying this patch the build is then still broken due to
'arm64: mm: use correct mapping granularity under DEBUG_RODAT'.

The arm64 qemu tests fails to to a bug inherited from mainline
(arm64:allmodconfig is also broken in mainline).
