The patch looks fine, but I found something else about the code here:

I notice that the contents of that file only deal with a single ARMv4
platform, and very few of those machines are still in use with
new software.

Would it make sense to build this code only when targeting an ARMv4
system, as opposed to ARMv5 or ARMv7?
