But what is "everything"? Currently, and AFAIU, it is for the PKS use
case on x86 only.
I'm not saying it should not be done this way eventually - all I'm
saying is we should not design "preemptively" before it is really needed
for other arches.
Unless putting it in generic code makes it all simpler and cleaner to
do, that is.
