Hi Alex, Probably the most sensitive spot will be implementing proper Mali chip graphics support for X.
See this post: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-arm&m=150069580728434&w=2 . As I understand it, someone implemented an unaccelerated, blob-free graphics driver for the Mali. There's more ARM laptops out there, for instance the Samsung Chromebook Plus.
