I think we need some code that walks the hierarchy below each system and pulls out the details of the system. This includes CPUs (that are going to boot not that are all in the hierarchy), their speed, perhaps cache configuration details, PCI devices, etc. Then there can be a platform specific piece of code that manipulates that data into the appropriate tables/configuration files/whatever for the system.
