That's sounds like a sensible plan :-)

It's not a show-stopper. It only manifests with a new config option in
the big-LITTPLE-MP config, so doesn't impact any board other than
vexpress and if required I could override it in my tree or we could add
a simple patch to linux-linaro later.

Someone else can't reproduce the problem so the slowness could be user
error on my part. (The build failure problem is definitely real
though :-)
