During the reviews, this was supposed to be qemux86-64 to match the current qemuarm64 target. I'm not sure how genericx86-64 is in the mailout .. probably just a lot of crossing email and review comments. But regardless, these are just the machines for the prototype, which won't be tested on hardware, but exclusively on qemu*. Part of the prototype is to define a process as to how other 'official' machines / architectures can be added (technical criteria, etc). > It is very important that the binary distribution makes a good first > impression at runtime, and a major part of that is that the common x86 > hardware, including various peripherals, just works.

Everything in the prototype needs to be on core, and not specific to any vendor. i.e. handle them similarly to the reference boards for oe-core/poky. Which would mean something like the tunes from meta-intel could be used if they are in core, but not linux-intel. That's part ot the criteria that are being part of the outputs of the prototype. They aren't in this initial email to keep it from being way too long to read.
