Not a portable mess per se, you can have platform support 
described in the docs with performance notes.

Most OSes have been geared towards C and Posix at some point and 
x86 is currently king, but hardware/coprocessors/memory 
architecture can be very different. Just wait till FPGAs become 
mainstream :-P. Don't mistake "unix-style-hardware" for portable 
code ;^)
