Honestly I'm fine with this patch (modulo it needs compile testing!).
I'd obviously just be happier if someone actually had a platform where
this could be tested. But really one of two things will happen:

 a) Nobody will ever execute the code. In which case it doesn't really
matter as long as it builds.

 b) Someone will execute the code, and it'll either work which is great
(and so we won't hear), or it will break and hopefully then we'll have a
willing tester ;)

Too late ;)

Are you happy to respin this with the #ifdef dropped?

Thanks,
