I think you're getting confused now :) I'm against ARCH_XXX but I'm OK with
adding SOC_XXX.

We should only need ARCH_OMAP2PLUS + SOC_XXX, there should not be any need
to add new ARCH_XXX under mach-omap2. Whatever we have left for ARCH_OMAP
in mach-omap2 will be eventually converted to SOC_OMAP.

Yes, but how about just use SOC_AM33XX?

I suggest doing some clean-up patches before adding SOC_AM33XX where
you just convert those to be

#if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2PLUS) && !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2)

or something similar depending if they already are inside mach-omap2
directory. This will make them future proof for adding new SoCs
without having to patch all over the place.
