If Russell and Linus as the only people that have cared about Integrator in the past years want to cut down the number of supported CPUs, that would be a different matter: quite a number of CPUs are not supported in any other platform. Note that the integrator target in qemu does not support any ARM7, only StrongARM, ARM9 or later. I also double-checked about mach-clps711x, but I'm pretty sure those SoCs are all either ARM710a (no longer supported) or ARM720T (quite active).
Hmm I don't think mach-integrator is using ARM710T? The ARM710T was done by NEC and was used by the Psion MX hardware. It's very close to ARM720T as far as I remember so might as well keep the CPU support for it as that's just a few lines of code in the mainline kernel. I don't think we have any mach directories using ARM710T, but I would not be surprised if somebody comes along with device tree based booting patches for Psion MX at some point. Regards, Tony
