This is my final piece of the puzzle for ARMv6/v7 multiplatform
support. In combination with the other patches that are now
at git://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground.git
multiplatform-4.0-rc2 and the at91 and shmobile parts from other
developers, you can now build one kernel that includes all 
ARMv6 and ARMv7 targets we support in Linux.

Since mach-msm has seen very few updates over the last years,
it was more work to get to this point than the others, and
some patches are more of a band-aid than a proper solution.
Still, I think that each patch in the series is an improvement
over the status-quo and I really want to see the last one
merged into 4.1 and it depends on all the other ones.

Stephen Boyd mentioned on IRC that he has been workin on
a similar series, and I'm more than happy to replace some
of this work with patches that he has done, as long as we
can still have the full multiplatform support for 4.1.

Since a lot of the patches are nontrivial and I have not
been able to test any of this, I'm posting it as an RFC,
but I'm also very interested in people testing it.
Didn't look at it in great detail (I will eventually), but it looks like your just
cleaning things up .. Is that accurate ?
Yes: if I did everything right, there should be no functional
changes. Most of the work was converting compile-time conditionals
into runtime conditionals, to ensure that things work when we
enable all options at once.
