Right. We may be able to make some fields of the machine_desc
#ifdef CONFIG_ATAGS at some point, but I think we will have legacy
platforms needing machine_desc callbacks for a very long time.
A different question is what to do about new hardware support.
I'm somewhat optimistic that at some point we can mandate that
new machines should no longer require a machine_desc, just
as we already require for ARM64.
