The CPU type really doesn't matter.  We already have had fully working
core support for dynamic CPU selection since well before AT91 ever
appeared, covering ARMv3 to ARMv5, and separately ARMv6 to ARMv7 UP
(*not* SMP - until a set of fixes for that area merged).

The question is whether the code for the SoC bits around the CPU can
be structured to allow it.
