Well the main advantage of doing it on top of the existing xts is that you can retain the existing ARM implementations without any changes. This would also apply to any existing xts drivers that also don't implement CTS (I'm not aware of the status on these so someone will need to check them one by one). But if you were going to volunteer to change them all in one swoop then it wouldn't matter.
