Fortunately, not many users have these broken cpus that don't work
with the kernel Debian provides. It's unfortunate that you happen
to maintain a swarm of them, but you can still build your own kernel
and use it.
Without people having such strange hardware helping maintain the Debian
kernel, it cannot support such hardware.
