Is there a convention of naming that defines such scheme? I have seen 
platform-specific properties without a prefix indicating the platform.

Hmm, do you have an idea for a better name? I'm not good at inventing 
names.

Right, I have considered this and even CC'ed Rafael with this patchset, but 
I forgot to mention about it in patch description.

Maybe I should send a separate RFC with a generic variant?
