Jon has previously said (multiple times) that he cares about servers
only, so I assume that is still given. If you take the exact same
hardware and firmware and add a PCIe GPU to turn it into a workstation
or laptop, I don't see that change anything from the kernel perspective,
but I'm trying to narrow the scope here, not widen it ;-)
