I suspect the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group (that includes AMD and others) will likely come up with something similar to x86S.

x86S actually seemed somewhat reasonable and largely kept compatibility (with the exception of 16-bit addressing; something you probably would want to run in DOSBox); you could still run 32 bit apps.
