While I understand dropping the dependency on ARM (I always wanted to do
that and test if it worked at all on some otehr archs with QEMU), I am
not sure about the whole renaming party ? why is needed just for
cosmetic reasons ? it is at the end an arm originated protocol so I dont
see it as a being wrong to be named as such even though used by other
archs...I have not really strong opinion on this...

... my concern really is ... wont this full scale rename simply generate
a lot of un-needed churn for future fixes and/or backporting ?

Thanks,
