This is fine, but it is better to name it MOBILEBCM instead for our 
platform, as it plan to keep it single zImage. My plan was to switch the 
current usage of ARCH_BCM for chips to ARCH_MOBILEBCM, and then leave 
ARCH_BCM as a generic BCM menu option as above. I can send a patch to 
that effect if everyone is okay with that.

  thanks,
