I've tested this with both ARM and ARM64.  There are some missing
headers in the arm64 gcc, reported here:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2123 (also upstream), but this
should work once that is fixed.

Feel free to fold these into your patch, or, if you prefer, I can send
out separate patches for them.
