What did you have in mind? I'm also confused by the model numbers
so I don't know how helpful I will be.

It would be nice to drop the ARCH_MSM* configs entirely. If we
could select the right timers from kconfig without using selects
then we could drop them. Or we could just select both types of
timers when building qcom platforms.

Right, apq8084 is the only SoC with a Krait CPU that supports
LPAE.
