This patch prepares the STM32 machine for the integration of Cortex-A
based microprocessor (MPU), on top of the existing Cortex-M
microcontroller family (MCU). Since both MCUs and MPUs are sharing
common hardware blocks we can keep using ARCH_STM32 flag for most of
them. If a hardware block is specific to one family we can use either
ARCH_STM32_MCU or ARCH_STM32_MPU flag.

So yesterdays application processors are todays MCU processors.

I said this on a lecture for control systems a while back and
stated it as a reason I think RTOSes are not really seeing a bright
future compared to Linux.

It happened quicker than I thought though, interesting.
