Well it does make sense as far as I can see.

This is a very specific workaround for a platform problem which only 
matters there, but increases complexity for everybody.

If we don't have any other choice on the problem to work around that I 
would say ok we add an ARM specific workaround.

But as long as that's not the case the whole idea is pretty clearly a 
NAK from my side.

Christian.
