We could carry the patch for a bit, but I agree it's probably not
worth getting it upstream.

I believe the number of real devices with TO2 is small and no new
devices with TO2 are anticipated.

Last I remember, Ubuntu uses a lot of armel buildds based on TO2
hardware though--- we should bear that in mind, though the situation
may have changed in the meantime.
