This kinda feels backwards to me. If _OSI is going away, then the default
should be "the architecture doesn't need to do anything", rather than have
new architectures defining a bunch of empty, useless stub code.

Anyway we could make this the default in core code and have architectures
that *do* want _OSI override that behaviour, instead of the other way around?

Cheers,

Will
