As the Area Maintainer for ARM, if the patch looks sufficiently safe
to you, you can approve the backport to a release branch. I'm always
happy to provide a second pair of eyes and an opinion when asked,
but that's not a requirement, simply because I'm not as well versed
in most areas of the code.

Looking at how the patch is written, it's not entirely obvious to me how
this can only affect programs using that special stack setup, but that's
probably because I don't know the ARM architecture as well as you do.
If you're confident about the patch, go ahead.
