*sigh* Computers are hard.

That is the series I had in mind, yes.  I will open a merge request once
I have one prepared and tested.

That's not an option for users requiring security support.  While the
prevelance of arm64-based clouds is still relatively low, it is growing.
As it becomes more common, the lack of visibility into CPU steal time
will become a significant issue for people running in these
environments, hence the "important" severity.
