Given that it's the eve of hardfreeze for 2.4, if these
aren't causing actual problems for you I'm wondering if maybe
we should leave master as is for 2.4 and put in a proper
rework patchset after that is released? (This is a bugfix
though so certainly in scope for 2.4 still if we want.)

Yes, we don't currently provide cross-version migration on
ARM so version bumps are OK.
