Well, what I'd say about it is that I did not know about its existence.
:-)

Anyway, if we have HMP on x86 already, and we want to support them,
we'll have to define criteria for building classes there too. Once that
is done, the rest of this document should be general enough (or at
least that was the intent).

About defining those criteria, I'd appreciate whatever input you x86
experts will be able to share. :-)

Dario
