i'd like to commit some patches that only affect aarch64
(and only particular uarches there):

memchr and memset for AmpereComputing emag (approved before freeze):
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-12/msg00626.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-12/msg00628.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-12/msg00820.html

ifunc for ares (does not add new implementation):
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-12/msg00754.html

these seem safer to me to commit now than to backport them
later and should not interfere with the glibc release process.
