Thanks for the suggestion and confirmation, Russell & Catalin.

If so, I will implement the weak functions for
compat_auxtrace_mmap__{read_head|write_tail}; and write the arm/arm64
specific functions with using LDRD/STRD instructions.

For better patches organization, I will use a separate patch set for
enabling the compat functions (in particular patches 10, 11/11) in
the next spin.

Thanks,
Leo
