On the contrary, we need proper driverization for _everything_ new. 
Embedded x86 is here to stay, so we are abstracting away each and every 
bit of the platform. See struct x86_ops for a highlevel platform driver 
- but a more specific, southbridge-encompassing driver framework can be 
created too.

Thanks,
