The patches seem fine otherwise, apart from the last one which I won't merge until we get some real numbers.
As I previously said I am really concerned about diverging from what arm32 has done here and the numbers don't seem any less real than the ones we're using there (they were generated in an identical fashion). Given the hardware availability for arm64 in general is limited and likely to be even more so for big.LITTLE systems it seems like asking for problems down the line to do something different.
Honestly I'm not sure there will ever be more real numbers that aren't benchmarked at runtime.
