On the other hand, when you have source code to your os, why should you do things in ugly ways? half the reason any non-for-pay code gets written is to satisfy someone's desire for neatness, purity, etc... To lots of people this is the 'right way'. This is why I do a lot of the 'recreational' development that I do. Oh, and perhaps we want to support other architectures besides the broken one that seesm to require this ugly kludge some times...
