To which I replied that this is the current generic
implementation, the moment some different architecture comes
around we can accomodate it - on a strictly as-needed basis.

It is *better* and cleaner to not expose random arch hooks but
let the core kernel modification be documented in the very patch
that the architecture support patch makes use of it.

Thanks,

Ingo
