Sure, but now we have two copies of this. One in the Apple AIC and one
here. The obvious thing to do is:

   1) Provide generic infrastructure

   2) Convert AIC to use it

   3) Add RISCV users

No?

The AIC code got the variable ordering correct ...

The comments in the AIC code where you copied from are definitely
better...
