The merge between 55e3748e8902 in the arm64 tree, and both
fa89d31c5306 and 46c4a30b0b16 in the kvmarm tree has resulted in a
slight mis-merge which I didn't spot yesterday. Apologies for not
realising this myself.

Stephen, could you please add the following patchlet as a resolution
of the merge?

Catalin: Alternatively, you could add a patch on top of the arm64
branch, moving these two defines to the top of the file, avoiding the
conflict altogether.

Thanks,

M.
