I think Juno is just serving as an example here since it's from ARM and
thus various people have access to it already, etc. It's not the best
example of a server platform out there, since that wasn't its original
design purpose (but it's a wonderful platform nonetheless). There is
work currently in flight to offer other reference ACPI examples.
