But I'm not sure XAA falls into that category.  It is my understanding
that EXA doesn't make an awful lot of sense on hardware that doesn't
have alpha support.  Such hardware may be mostly irrelevant in the
desktop market, but judging from the discussions on this list in the
last couple of months, such hardware continues to be used in the
embedded space.
