Shouldn't the be inlines or macros?  Also it would be useful
if the architectures would not have to override all functions
but just those that are it actually implements?
It gets better in the next patches. I did it this way again to avoid 
moving a lot of code at the same time as changing name / prototype
slightly.

I didn't see individual generic fallbacks being all that useful really 
at this scale. I don't mind keeping the explicit false.
Also lots of > 80 char lines in the patch.
Yeah there's a few, I can reduce those.

Thanks,
Nick
