I read recently in some research work (by the Getty Institute if I recall
correctly) that load bearing earthen walls that are restrained from horizontzl
deflection at their top actually perform better in seismic shake tests than
walls that are not load bearing.

Something to think about  - especially if you're in earthquake country
