This has come up a couple times recently. I'll agree that from a consistency standpoint it would be nice if this were same for all architectures, and it will probably end up this way, but is it really "broken", what is not currently functioning, other than a proper mapping from the documentation to reality.

If the PXA is broken, then it should be fixed, but NOT by
making it like the other ARM boards which are (IMHO) broken by design. [It's just that we didn't have enough free resources (or volunteers???) to fix the ARM memory layout.]
ARM still suffers from the many things ARMBoot did differently.
