any value in centralizing common 32/64 x86 content in vmlinux.lds.S?

given the amount of common content between arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_32.lds.S and arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S, what about just defining macros for some of that stuff in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S and cutting down on all the duplication? as is done in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.S,
