I think converting all the users over to the CPU_FOREACH thing is the
right way to go, even if the SOC doesn't require it. People do bring
up new systems by copy/pasta'ing an existing similar system, so we're
best served by having all the consumers migrated.

But, I'd do it in head/12. Early in head/12. :-P
