Russell made me aware of this message of yours:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/YiiuCMd%2FhLmQ7tfS@xxxxxxxxx/

do you expect to get ARM64 patches for 5.4 (included) and versions
before and publish those as a different stable tag with those
specifically? If so, would not it be easier from a logistics point of
view if ARM, ARM64 and x86 all get BHB mitigations within the same
stable tag?

Thanks
