seriously, if you don't like the name or the style of the fix that's
fine, we can fix that up, but I went to enough trouble to track down the
issue and test the fix it seems worth actually... fixing it.

If you want to __on_disk annotate everything and only pack it on arm
OABI that might be less hacky.  cw almost convinced me of this.

I was just going for "least invasive" here.
