Well, I think that maybe people who could fix this might not have the hardware
that is need to reproduce and test the problem.  So they need help of people who
do have the hardware and can reproduce the problem.
Perhaps, just disabling the code _and_ stopping there is what should not be done.

Well, PCI USB controller drivers would also have this bloat, but I am not sure if
hardware for the platforms you listed has PCI *HCI controllers.
Besides, only code execution is now disabled, the code itself is still present,
which also can be considered as a form of bloat.
Perhaps #if defined (arch1) ... would be more appropriate here? I am not sure.
