I think it depends to some extent whether things will need rewriting to be 
made cross-architecture. In particular if this requires interface changes.  
This means either breaking existing guests, or having to support both 
interfaces.

e.g. the extboot stuff seems like something that should be usable by all 
targets, except that the current interface looks like it's inherently x86 
specific.
