It took me _ages_ to untangle all of these, each OS had implemented a
different subsets of the N interfaces as their base line and then there
were a variety of compat shims in terms of that which ended up providing
the full set on all platforms, sometimes it was A implemented in terms of B
and sometimes it was vice versa.

I had to resort to drawing a graph per target platform and then chopping
nodes out one by one to get anything I could even understand.
