But do they have multiple ISA domains? There is no real harm in supporting
it, the (small) downsides I can think of are:
- a few extra cycles for the lookup, from possibly walking a linked list
to find the correct set of helpers and MMIO addresses
- making it too general could invite more people to design hardware
around the infrastructure when we really want them to stop adding
stuff like this.
