Yeah, well, in my experience, those approaches usually just end up piling partial conversions on top of different set of partial conversions. It's not like we're talking about a major arch dependent feature it's just a matter of looking through different arch codes, maybe test building some, pushing things to linux-next and dealing with fallouts if there is any. I'll try to do it myself.
