Just dump it into the regular one buffer like I outlined.
That said; we very much need to have at least two architectures implemented for any of this code to move.
But we cannot ignore the hardware trainwreck; we cannot shape our interface around something that's utterly broken.
Some hardware is just too broken to support.
