Sorry for the delay! I had forgotten about this patch until I stumbled
upon the same issue again recently with bpftrace.

I'll send a new version of the patch (with updated tags and retested on
on top of v6.4-rc5) in a bit. Think it could be merged via the arm64 tree
or would you recommend I submit it to rmk's patch tracker?

Thanks!
