I could not find Nico's patches, but based on the information in his
presentation at
https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2015/ocw//system/presentations/3369/original/slides.html#(1)
I created a patch for ARM that mirrors what you have for powerpc, see
below.
I have successfully built normal-sized kernels with this (not tried
running them). Unfortunately, the build time for "allyesconfig"
kernel explodes, the final link time is now in the hours instead of
minutes (no exact numbers unfortunately, it takes too long to
reproduce), and I also get link errors for the .text.fixup section
for any users of __put_user() in really large kernels:
net/batman-adv/batman-adv.o:(.text.fixup+0x4): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_JUMP24 against `.text.batadv_log_read'
...
drivers/scsi/sg.o:(.text.fixup+0x4): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 against `.text.sg_ioctl'
drivers/scsi/sg.o:(.text.fixup+0xc): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 against `.text.sg_ioctl'
drivers/scsi/sg.o:(.text.fixup+0x14): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 against `.text.sg_ioctl'
...
This originates from
#define __put_user_asm(x, __pu_addr, err, instr) \
__asm__ __volatile__( \
"1: " TUSER(instr) " %1, [%2], #0\n" \
"2:\n" \
