Testing is the scary thing for me. I have no access to Summit or ES7000 
boxes, and I don't know what external testing is being done on those 
systems and on what schedule. For all I know, bugs could be introduced 
and not fixed for an arbitrary time. If I know there is testing 
infrastructure I would like to move closer to x86/64's genapic code 
(which uses generic mechanisms to determine what APIC mode to use) and 
keep the minimal amount possible of default/bigsmp/summit/es7000 
specific subarchitecture code. Still, some incremental progress on that 
path is definitely achievable.
