Hi Arnd,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I had some MTA issues and stupidly assumed ARM developers were taking the day off instead...

Unfortunately this doesn't really cut it in my case, as it's not only those multiplications: chacha20-arm.S:402: Error: selected processor does not support `bxeq lr' in ARM mode
I think we're going to wind up playing whack-a-mole in silly ways. The fact of the matter is that the ARM assembly I'm adding to the tree is for ARMv4 and up, and not for ARMv3.
I think there are three options to work around this issue:
1) Not build my assembly when CONFIG_CPU_32v3 via a Kconfig "depends". 2) Set asflags-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v3) inside my module locally to select -march=armv4. 3) This patch.
My initial plan was (1). ArdB recommended I do (2) instead. I thought that was a bit too nuanced and submitted (3).
It sounds like in light of the bus issues, (1) might be the best solution after all?
Let me know, and I'll follow your direction.
Regards, Jason
