The patch was badly wordwrapped.  Please fix and resend.

I'd suggest that you enable it on all architectures, not just CONFIG_ARM. 
Tht way we'll at least get compile coverage.

Coding style problems:

- The code uses four-spaces where it should be using hard tabs.  Linux
  style is to always use hard tabs.

- The code does this:

	if(
	while(

  Linux style is

	if (
	while (

- Try to keep everything inside the 80th column.  (This is especially
  useful when sending wordwrapped patches ;))
