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.

Thanks,
