Admittidly I don't see a reason to do it this way either, but it looks 
like the other common ports (I checked arm64 and x86) are doing things 
this way.  I don't really care that much about which way we do it, but 
it'd be better to keep everyone aligned.

Are you converting the other ports over as well?
