I agree it's preferable to know beforehand to avoid potential
maintainability quagmires bringing additional architectures onboard, and
that it probably makes sense here to get that early input. But as a
general statement, it's not necessarily a *requirement*.

I worry that if we commit to such a policy that by the time restrictedmem
gets close to merge, yet another architecture/use-case will come along that
delays things further for architectures that already have hardware in the
field.

Not saying that's the case here, but just in general I think it's worth
keeping the option open on iterating on a partial solution vs. trying to
address everything on the first shot, depending on how the timing works
out.

Thanks,

Mike
