OK, that's nothing to do with the normal definition of "reentrant" - normally reentrancy means the ability to handle simultaneous calls from multiple threads of execution which is not at all relevant here since supporting more hardware is an orthogonal issue.
That is but one out of many criteria, another is that the func works only on the data provided to it by the caller.
Of course, but my point is that it's confusing to talk about additional hardware support as reentrancy.
