It was not a conscious design decision.  None of the major libffi users
have ever required support for variadic calls, or if they did, none of
the supported ABIs required any special support.  The hard-float ARM ABI
appears to be the first.  

Marcus and I discussed his ideas a few weeks ago and patches are
definitely welcome.
