So, I think it makes sense to change the default for LRA to on now.  Port m=
aintainers for which this isn=92t the right choice (sh, cause code size reg=
ressions), can then default it to off in the port.  We can then use the #de=
fine LRA in the port as an indicator that things are not fine on that port =
and ideally LRA should be enhanced to make the port work better.  When no p=
ort has a #define left, we can then safely rm -rf all the non-LRA code.
