So what's the status on this? The problem is still present in .dev, this
patchset introduces other problems and Phil & Richard want to take a
different approach.
Were do we go from here? I'd love to help out if I knew which approach
is the right one. I'm not fond of abusing TARGET_VENDOR, but if the
consensus is that's the way forward, so be it.
