+ <para>The &arch.i386; and &arch.amd64; platforms were chosen
due to being more readily available to developers and as
representatives of more diverse processor and system designs -
big versus little endian, register file versus register stack,
different DMA and cache implementations, hardware page tables
versus software TLB management etc.</para>
