A pragmatic solution for TCI could use the label "accel: TCI" as a 
special case and instead of "accel: TCG".

We have an ambiguity for "os:" because it is unclear whether it relates 
to the host or to the target system. That could be handled by using four 
labels "host:", "target:" (architecture), "host-os:", "target-os:" 
(operating system). I'd prefer dropping the "os:" label and extending 
"target:" (and the new "host:") to allow either architecture, operating 
system or a combination of both (for example target: i386, target: 
i386-Windows, host: Windows).
