It's not about bisectability but rather a way to test the branch that I
publish. On its own, my branch wouldn't even compile. Anyway, here's the
update (tested on a local branch with Al's execve2 branch merged):


arm64: Switch to generic sys_execve/kernel_execve

This patch converts the arm64 port to use the generic sys_execve and
kernel_execve() functions. It introduces the ret_from_kernel_execve()
function for starting the new user context and removes the
(compat_)sys_execve_wrapper() functions.
