Thanks! I’ll fix this.

Correct, this is the only bit that has to be written to enable additional
architectures. I’d love to be able to fill in the missing architectures.

Your suggestions are probably correct, but since this package is MIT-licensed,
I can’t use anything copied from the GPL-licensed Linux kernel, and I don’t
know either missing architecture well enough to craft something I am confident
in from first principles.
