Thank you very much for testing (especially on a platform I don't have).

These results match up with what I get on OMAP5 (also Cortex-A15).

Since it looks like I will need to make some significant changes for the
next version, I think I can't in good conscience carry your Tested-by on
to v8 (although I'm open to different opinions).  But I still very much
appreciate it.
