so I complained about this when support for this went in for arm64.
Why do we have two separate ways of getting this info, one for x86 and one for arm64/riscv?
Could we get x86 patched to use the same interface?
It's a pain for tool users to have to maintain multiple code paths because the various architectures can't agree on how to export this info to userspace.
