I think I may have been mistaken. I added a dump_stack() , but there may have
been other stack traces during bootup on prior -rcX's I was testing.

I re-ran the test and I only see one user on powerpc and powerpc64,

powerpc64,

I think it would be possible to just move the generic handling entire into
architecture code.
