Since Annex E is only intended for homogeneous partitions (that is, all
partitions running on the same processor and target OS), it doesn't make
sense to "mix up ARM and Intel partitions".
Specifically, see paragraph 6 in the introduction to Annex E. Since this is
a "permission", an implementation could try to support a mixed system, but
it would only work if all targets use the same mapping of object
representations (that is, size of integers, mapping of components, and so
on). That's likely to be pretty limiting on the implementation for each
target.
