Interesting! But why can't the x86 ISA finally be put to rest. Seems it
just won't die... :)

Sure. Since you ask, I assume that you're feeling awkward about some of it,
what?

No just go ahead and push it to gerrit. Do put the info in the commit
message where it belongs.

As long as the code that does exist is independent, clean, well designed
and free from obvious bugs, I don't see a problem with missing features,
even if they're central. Better to have some basic functionality for review
when it's ready. However, don't push code that is broken or that you know
will have to be rewritten later, that's just a waste of reviewing effort.
It might not be submitted until it's generally useful though, so be
prepared to maintain/rebase the changes in gerrit until then.
