Exynos4210 means below.

1st digit means ARM core version. In this case, 4 means Cortex A9.
(If we release cortex A15, it will be Exynos5xxx)
2nd digit means number of core.  2 mean dual core.
3rd digit means application category(LSI internal category).
4th digit means design rule (generation or shrink version)

Yes, we will handle all exynos4 series at mach-exynos4 directory.
In the past, there is no rule. 
But now, we are making consistent rules with AP design team.
So, new version of exynos4 series will have same base RAM address.

Thanks and regards,
