Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
sv57 breaks Go since Go uses the upper bits of a pointer to store data,
and it is not ready for sv57 yet. It probably breaks other type of
software using this "pointer tagging" technic. The following patch fixes
this: at the moment, there is no way to indicate to the kernel to
downgrade to sv48, so we must patch the kernel.

[ Test Plan ]
Build an image with the new kernel and make sure snapd started
correctly, or that you can compile a simple helloworld written in Go.
[ Where problems could occur ]
The patch could be wrong, but I already built a kernel with it and it
worked fine.
