+          The field is optional and should only be used when just single architecture is supported.
+          It may provide redundant information when used in a GPT partition with a GUID type that already
+          encodes the architecture. If this is not the case, the architecture should be specified in
+          e.g., an extension image, to prevent an incompatible host from loading it.
