Do you think it'd make sense to exclude ppc64el and arm64 from
"Architectures" on this package until that upstream bug is resolved?

My own expertise in the kernel details of inotify is limited, but I
don't see anything in the code of that package that ought to make it
particularly unfriendly to these other architectures, so I'm not sure
what other options we have. :(
