 The following architectural tasks need to be accomplished and should be
 fairly easy to complete:

+- use dynamic allocations for working memory. Scan & fix code
+for excessive stack allocations. take linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl and
+see what the worst offenders are.  Example, on amd64:

 - clean-up code to match style guides
 - factor code to eliminate duplicated functionality
 - rewrite code that uses casts to access 16-bit and larger types
