I consider the rest of those to be a mess of repetious code that would
have been simpler had the platform specific presence checks been pushed
down. The only critical aspect of that function is the ordering and more
importantly when to and when not to initialise certain outputs. That I
feel is hidden in the forest of ifs.

Just my 2 cents.
