Didn't we decide that arch specific patches were a bad idea?
I hope not; there are plenty of archs that need arch-specific patches.
Of course in the case that the patch is not truly arch-specific, but is being applied to a single arch only out of "courtesy" to the maintainter, I would say that it is a bad idea.
My general approach to this second case is to make the change arch-specific and then file a bug and/or email to the maintainer to make it arch-independent. I also throw a todo in my calendar reminding me to bug the said maintainer if there is no reply in 1 month.
