Hi Abner, One comment is on adding a new CPU type dir name of 'X86' for content that is common for IA32/X64.
I can imagine a similar case for ARM/AARCH64 and for the RISCV (32, 64, 128) cases. I think I would prefer to drop X86 and if there are files that are common to multiple CPU architectures then they are considered common and are in top directory of module and the file header and INF file can clearly document which CPU archs the file applies.
