In the current requests handling code, this ordering means
that architecture specific requests get handled only after
generic ones.

If someone wants to make a generic request that needs to be
handled before entering the guest from any architecture
specific request handler, this can be a problem.

If you can guarantee that this kind of dependencies will not
be introduced in the future, this change looks good to me.

Actually, I want to make the current dependencies, even between
architecture specific requests, more explicitly written in the
code.
