    I'd like to suggest there is still no reason not to take the current
    work (with suggested changes), which interested parties can then further
    adapt for supporting other/multiple architectures. There is virtually
    no new architecture-specific code that would have to be redone later.
    Additionally, it's not clear to me how useful instruction interpretation
    is to any other architecture. We are doing this only because 32-bit ARM
    does not support single-stepping.
