I'd like to thank you guys as well for being patient and providing
meaningful comments for my naive and sometime silly changes.

And sure there will be more patches as now we start using OE
for quite some projects basically trying to get ARC up to speed
in OE as good as possible and given our architecture differs a bit
from others (as any other arch) we're not only adding features but
more fix issues that were not seen before due to pure luck...
like we typically have 8k MMU page a bit exotic int64_t alignment
by 32 bits etc so there'll be more stuff from us in the foreseeable
future :)
