I suspect this should not be architecture-dependent, since coreboot
tables work across 3 coreboot architectures at present with more on
the way.

Sometimes, something that spans more than an x86 can look like a
non-standard hack. At other times, it might look portable. Depends on
ones perspective I guess.
