True, but I think we're still heading for one implementation which is 
going to be refined with code/ideas of the other.

Yes, I generally like the overall lean design of Ross's solution a bit 
more. Currently my only concern is that there is quite a bit of code 
sitting in the platform HALs, and a lot of this will going to be 
duplicated for different ports. But I also see Ross's point about total 
flexibility here, and that it's going to be difficult to have a more 
generic solution which is going to work for all the cases without 
getting messy.
