I don't see any obvious reason why that wouldn't work but like anything
in that area, it needs a bit of testing & hammering to be sure ;-)
In fact it would work on pmac32 as well since those generally don't have
legacy crap either.
So I have no fundamental objection, it just needs testing. My worry is
that we need to make sure we don't break old chrp and I don't have any
to test with. I'm happy to drop support for stuff nobody uses anymore
(we did drop PReP after all and I'm *that* close to drop power3) but as
long as somebody is still using a CHRP RS6K or a Pegasos I can't quite
drop those... And they do have legacy ISA crap to deal with.
Cheers,
Ben.
