This distinction is important for the sake of performance but not (or only barely) about compatibility. This thread focuses on functionality and the linux support referred to in the title is devices and not the CPU, which -- as you've indicated -- should Just Work because it's implementing the ISA standard.
For the laptop to work, it means that the audio, display, camera, storage, external buses will work. As noted in other threads, this is interesting because of Qualcomm's re-invigorated engagement with kernel development.

It's extremely "PC Platform" specific phenomenon that every PC runs the same OS just fine sans for eyecandy peripherals. Booting from a wrong image usually crashes the CPU seconds after power-up for most other platforms. It's not rare that replacing a "HN123X456" processor with "HN123X765" chip involves minor code changes. ARM had supposedly fixed that problem with SystemReady certification program, personally I will believe it when I see it. Are there even two different iPhone models that runs the same recovery image?
