it's trivial though, libos is not only for the testing (i.e., NUSE).
# of course tools/libos or something can be the place.

the issue here is the decision between 'no-ops' and
'assert(false)' depends on the context. an auto-generated
mechanism needs some hand-written parameters I think.
one more concern on the out-of-arch-tree design is that how
to handle our asm-generic-based header files
(arch/lib/include/asm). we have been heavily used
'generic-y' in the Kbuild file to reuse header files.
OTOH, I agree with you on the point of auto-generated glues
(stubs), or trying to avoid glues (reuse the originals as
much as possible) as Antti mentioned. that will definitely
be reduce the amount of maintenance effort.
