I personally am in favor of cooperation rather than coercion, so please, 
ask before banging on heads. :)

Seems like we're asymptotically getting to some kind of agreement. For 
the sake of clarity, could someone summarize what the expected API would 
be, so that I save my scalp and start looking as the order in which 
changes should be done on ARM?
