Yes for sure. In the autoconf system, we just excluded a few CPUs.

But should we go farther in waf? I see two possibilities:

+ Force legacy stack off for the same CPUs as autoconf build plus
   all the BSPs that have new stack support.

+ Only enable it for the specific BSPs that have HAS_NETWORKING
   in their Makefile.am?  A quick grep shows 37 of 84 families would be
   white listed this way.

The first is very easy. The second is a bit more painful but puts us on
a path of identifying specifically what has to transition.

With a bit of discussion on the rules for being white listed to use the
legacy stack, I would lean to the second solution.
