Hey Will,
  So I noticed issues booting Linus' master on the HiKey960 board I
have today (something hangs early in boot before I get any serial
output), and isolated the issue down to your branch here.

It seems to be coming from 693350a79980 ("arm64: insn: Don't fallback
on nosync path for general insn patching"), and reverting that change
resolves the issue for me.

If you have any suggestions for alternative fixes or things to try,
please let me know.

thanks
