Oh, right. I remember now. Scrap my earlier suggestion then. Armada
came out of Marvell's marketing dept, not the engineering dept.
Maybe we should just go with mach-mrvl_ebu and eventually move orion5x,
kirkwood, dove, and friends in there. Why "ebu"? Because that's the
internal Marvell name for the division that produced all those SOCs,
hence their similarities, whereas PXA/MMP SOCs came from Intel
initially.
