[parisc-linux] 'architected'?

[Alex deVries]

So, I've been rereading some docs lately, and am wondering what
'architected' really is.  

Here's an example, dug up by Dave Kennedy.  This is on page 3, under the
heading '2. PDC Procedures' in pdc.pdf:

"The architected operation of a module (including execution of a PDC)
must not require the use of any non-architected PDC procedures.  It must
also not require the use of any non-architected options in architected
PDC produces."

Can someone at HP clarify?
