Don't forget arch/ia-32 and arch/ia-64. Then there's the arch/mips that I've done but which is so incomplete and bitrotted as to not be too useful to people. I think this is going to be a tough sell. People view it as an unecessary extra level of indirection. However, when I've worked with NetBSD I've not found it to be a burdon at all.
