Because there's no market for it.  I'm not talking about what's 
theoretically possible.  I'm only talking about what makes sense and 
what will actually happen.  And I'm quite certain that we will never see 
an actual 32-bit ARM SOC with an SBSA watchdog device in it.

Therefore, it makes no sense to complicated the code so that we can 
support an SOC that will never exist.

So can we PLEASE stop talking about 32-bit ARM support?
