This looks correct now. A few more points though:

* My first thought would have been to do this by first defining the
  two symbols before the #include, and then adding an #ifdef in
  the generic file. Both approaches work though, any other opinions
  on this?

* It seems that PowerPC has the same bug. Care to fix that as well?

* Do we need to backport this to stable?

* Can you explain in the changelog how the numbers were decided?
  I don't see any other architecture using 5kb and cannot see why
  it has to be this value rather than something else.
