Well it's all just fallout from

vhost: force spec specified alignment on types

which I didn't know we need until things landed upstream and

That forced changes to a header file and the rest followed.

We could just ignore -mabi=apcs-gnu build being broken for this release -
is that preferable? Pls let me know.
