Don't forget arch/ia-32 and arch/ia-64. Then there's the arch/mips
that I've done but which is so incomplete and bitrotted as to not be
too useful to people.
I think this is going to be a tough sell. People view it as an
unecessary extra level of indirection. However, when I've worked with
NetBSD I've not found it to be a burdon at all.
