Having another ARM11MPCore arch in the tree is desired for finding
subtle bugs in the support of that stuff - right now there is (IIRC) just
the ARM RealView PB11MPcore and the kernel knows nothing about
any mass-produced 11MPcore systems. So it'd be a big win for
everyone to get that stuff in IMO.
