According to our versioned machine support policy (see commit ce80c4fa6ff "docs: document special exception for machine type deprecation & removal") they can now be removed.if these machine types are the last users of compat arrays, it's better to remove array at the same time, aka squash those patches later in series into this one. That leaves no illusion that compats could be used in the later patches.IMHO the generic hw_compat array should be treated separately since this is independent from x86. So in case someone ever needs to backport these patches to an older branch, they can decide more easily whether they want to apply the generic hw_compat part or only the x86-specific part of this series.
Yes, it is clearer this way than squashed.
