The right way to go is to consolidate all the stupidly different
entry/exit work handling implementations and have exactly one in generic
code, i.e. what I posted a few days ago.

Then we can make new features only available in the generic version by
hiding the new functionality in the core code and not exposing the
functions to architecture implementations.

Making it easy for architectures to keep their own variant forever just
proliferates the mess we have right now.

Thanks,
