Yes, sounds good. I wasn't sure at first if there is enough buy-in to get
all architectures cleaned up, and I hadn't done the ia64 patch, so it
seemed more important to do this part early, but now it seems that it
will all go in at the same time, so doing this as part of a big removal
at the end makes sense.
