Yes.

I just wrote, what helps for me. I didn't mean it as a proposal for merge.
Sorry for confusion.

I tried using Will's cpu_relax() implementation [1] everywhere but I was not
successful with that yet. ARM64's VDSO makes it complicating and even
if I left original cpu_relax() just in VDSO, Linux did not boot for me.

Thank you all!
