Yeah, while we only have examples and reports on arm and riscv so far IIRC when Paride tracked this down back in the day upstreams statement was (sadly I can't find a link anymore where this happened) was more or less like "if at all it only works on x86". Hence we decided to better disable it on all non-x86 based on the reports we already have and that statement.

I'll ping Paride if he still has a reference where this came up, but it was quite some time ago so it might be lost due time.
