ARM's fncpy implementation is actually suitable for a large number of
platforms since the only assumption it makes is just the function's
alignment (8 bytes) which also happens to fulfil other architectures,
including but not limited to ARM64.

and of course I missed a

#define _ASMARM_FNCPY_H

I will wait for feedback on whether this is acceptable before
resubmitting...

Yeah I'm all for it. Maybe mention in the next version that this helps
with making SoC specific PM code into just regular Linux device drivers.

NAK.  This is really not "generic" because the whole point of this is
that it encapsulates architecture specific knowledge - in the case of
ARM, the fact that bit 1 is used to indicate whether the code is to be
run in Thumb mode or ARM mode.

That clearly does not belong in an asm-generic version of this.

I'm not saying "don't provide an asm-generic" version, I'm saying don't
use the ARM version as an asm-generic implementation, because it is
nothing of the sort.
