Much of the code is so generic it almost deserves to live in a directory
even higher in the hierarchy.  If you look at the 32-bit compat code for
the various 64-bit architectures of Linux (in particular sparc64 and ia64),
it's a single huge cut'n'paste session.  Not much of that code is actually
architecture dependant.
