Why do we need any ARM specific code at all? What's the difference between an ARM and - say - a PowerPC system in this respect, and why do we need different code for both? If we consolidate code, it should always be done in a cross-platform way, unless platform specifc code really cannot be avoided (which I fail to see yet here).
