So while this is the first step:

It turns into this end result (mockup):

Right? Or, more likely, considering all the surrounding code changes, something 
like:

>  129 files changed, 4353 insertions(+), 5400 deletions(-)

Did I get the file count right - roughtly how many files are affected throughout all 
architectures? The changes are massively intrusive and widely spread out so we 
cannot do them in one go, right?

Thanks,
