In the current requests handling code, this ordering means that architecture specific requests get handled only after generic ones. If someone wants to make a generic request that needs to be handled before entering the guest from any architecture specific request handler, this can be a problem. If you can guarantee that this kind of dependencies will not be introduced in the future, this change looks good to me. Actually, I want to make the current dependencies, even between architecture specific requests, more explicitly written in the code. Takuya
