I don't mind doing that but would like to have an ack from the x86
folks.
I wish we didn't have this early-quirk thing at all because (a) it's
x86-only, and (b) it only works on domain 0, but obviously those are
known issues and we don't have a better way to solve them so I'm not
here to fight that battle.
