I've included this version in the asm-generic tree for 5.14 already,
addressing the few issues that were pointed out in the RFC. If there
are any remaining problems, I hope those can be addressed as follow-up
patches.
This continues to look great to me, and now has the even simpler
remaining implementation.
I'd be tempted to just pull it in for 5.13, but I guess we don't
actually have any _outstanding_ bug in this area (the bug was in our
zlib code, required -O3 to trigger, has been fixed now,
Wasn't the new zlib code slated for 5.14. I don't see it in your master yet
and the biggy
case didn't even use "get_unaligned()").
Indeed this series is sort of orthogonal to that bug, but IMO that bug
still exists in 5.13 for -O3 build, granted that is not enabled for !ARC.

So I guess your 5.14 timing is the right thing to do.
