It's not just the SoC, it's also the rest of the board.  The patches the
Intel guys are submitting at the minute are mainly for the off-SoC
devices at least as far as I noticed.  This'll impact anyone who ends up
using ACPI, we need to at least pay attention to what's going on there.

Yes, but I'm not that worried about off-soc stuff, which tends to be
off the much simpler variety: a few MMIO or PIO registers, IRQs,
GPIOs or (with ACPI-5.0) devices on i2c and spi buses.

That's not my experience especially once you get into phone type
hardware - there's not much complexity difference when gluing things
into the system and the fact that it's connected by the board increases
the amount of flexibility that has to be coped with.  I don't see a
substantial difference between the two cases.  To be honest I'm a bit
concerned about what we're going to see given where ACPI's at as a spec.
