This patch unfortunately breaks something on Hi1616 SoCs when running 32bit guests. With this patch applied (and thus with 4.18) I get random illegal instruction warnings from 32bit code inside VMs. I do not know at this point whether this affects other CPUs as well.

If anyone is interested in a reproducer, I have something handy. But for now I believe we should just revert this patch.
