Major design work (including major API and ABI changes) must prove itself on at least one 32-bit and at least one 64-bit platform, preferably the primary reference platforms, before it may be committed to the source tree.
- The &arch.i386; and &arch.sparc64; platforms were chosen + 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. - The &arch.ia64; platform has many of the same - complications that &arch.sparc64; has, but is still limited in - availability to developers. - We will continue to re-evaluate this policy as cost and availability of the 64-bit platforms change.
