This patchset looks good to me (with the minor comments I sent).
And armv8 support should fit quite well in this.

A last few things :
- checkpatch is not happy with some patches, can you have a look at this ?
- can you update the 2.2 release notes as part of this patchset to announce
armv7 support ?
- I am not really sure the acl et lpm fixes really belong to this patchset
as a more larger cleanup is necessary to have all libraries compile fine on
non-x86
- since you introduce a new architecture, do you intend to run daily build
checks and send reports to the test-report mailing list ?


Thanks.
