Apart from the current code permitting recreating a 15+ year old
firmware bug into completely new platform ports?

Because the UEFI stub for arm/arm64 needs to delete all of the "memory"
nodes from the DT. And it would be nice to at least not have to compile
the "and also delete anything called memory at 0" into the arm64 image. Or
any image not including support for affected platforms.
