The Golem article actually only writes about the hooks of the Android OS for x86 (I can't find any mention of the processor!) but it also has the example of not allowing modded Android OS at the end of it (translated via Google Translate with minor fixes for clarity attempted by me):
"The Intel manager gave an example for why such safety features, deeply anchored into the operating system are important for Android: In the Intel network only mobile devices with certain versions of Android may use all functions. The Cyanogenmod smartphone would be able to access WLAN but not receive e-mails as such a device would be a security risk."
