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.
