Archs aren't standard. On sparc, for example, only testing on v8 is |
| 9 |
insufficient. On mips it's even worse because a single keyword covers |
| 10 |
big and little endian, 32 and 64 bit. It should be down to the |
| 11 |
individual arch teams to decide their policy and have it documented in |
| 12 |
the devmanual (which some of them have done already). |
