So this is the thanks for taking hold of an issue which someone else
raised and trying to get it sorted.  Fine.

But that's no good if we can't even present what we think is a good
interface from the architecture side.  Which it appears we still
can't.

Remember that it was Andrea who raised it on lkml and it moved to
to linux-arch because all the architecture people needed to be
involved?

Well, I'm sick to death with this issue.  Someone else can sort out
this problem.  I'm going to just do what's necessary to sort it on
ARM and leave it at that.  If that screws someone else, tough shit.
I've made the effort and done my best to find a reasonable solution.
