FWIW, the RTKit backend is limited to aarch64 hardware, and that's also
why I kept all the endian-munging there. T2 and legacy x86 backends
(which don't exist yet, so whether things need changing for those
platforms is an open question anyway) would respectively do whatever
endian-munging is appropriate for them.

So at this point, only Apple Mx AArch64 SoCs matter, though I *tried* to
write the code in the way that I thought was most likely to cleanly
transfer over to other SMC platforms by just changing the backend code.
