Yeah, we proliferate crap on that basis forever. _ALL_ architectures
have the very same entry/exit ordering problems (or subsets and
different ones) which we fixed on x86.

So no, we don't want to have 24 different variants of the same thing
again. That's what common code is for.

Not doing that is making the life of everyone working on core
infrastructure pointlessly harder. Architecture people still have enough
ways to screw everyone up.

Thanks,
