tl;dr: It’s not ‘there’ yet.

Specifics:

- loos@ has done a lot of work to get the espresso.bin working, and some of this carries over to the 8k/7k.
- We have another internal developer working on an EIP-97 driver for crypto offload.  This should be a foundation for the EIP-197 in the 8K.
- I know manu at is working on pin controllers and clocks specific to Machiatto.bin (80x0/70x0).
- Getting the NICs, PCIe, etc working still remains to be done.
