I am not sure about this.
What if one day we have ARM vendors showing up with x86-like fake registers just to be fully fixed hw profile compliant and feeling they could be safer than with the resuced hw profile, for whichever reason?
I would suggest we have two flags, which would be both set in 99.9% of ARM platforms but maybe there could be a 0.1% where it is ARM and fixed profile one day?
I agree with Andrea. we can't just let ARM = HW-reduced, some OEM vendors may implement ACPI hardware one day.
Thanks Hanjun
