Research direction
Start with the mips{be,le}/byte_xori and mips{be,le}/longxor encoder modules and inspect how their cacheflush system-call requirement is represented. Then trace how operating-system compatibility is selected for exploits and payloads, including the suggested tags approach. Done means Linux-only uses of these modules are prevented from being selected for other operating systems.

Description
Metasploit encoder modules are supposed to be compatible across all operating system for the specified architecture. The use of the cacheflush system call in the mips{be,le}/byte_xori and mips{be,le}/longxor modules makes these Linux specific. We need some way to make sure that only Linux exploits and payloads use these modules (tags, etc).
