I have no objections against this change per se, but I'm missing the
actual problem it is trying to solve. What's the fail it fixes or is it
just a general consolidation? The above is blury in that regard.

Please do:

  git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process/

and follow the instructions there.

Aside of that I assume that you only covered x86 in build testing which
is not cutting it as this is generic infrastructure affecting _all_
