We've booted linux on winterhawks in the past, there was one weird
problem where we allocated memory for RTAS too high but that should be
fixed.
As pointed out we have no support for the switch unfortunately.
One of our build machines here is a nighthawk (16 way 9076) and it works
nicely in case anyone has a cluster of these lying around :)
