There should be no point in this series where it's possible to enable a
broken XPFO. Either this patch should be merged into the rest of the
arm64 bits, or it should be placed before the rest of the arm64 bits.

That's a pre-requisite for merging, and it significantly reduces the
burden on reviewers.

In general, a patch series should bisect cleanly. Could you please
restructure the series to that effect?

Thanks,
Mark.
