But that only helps when ARMv7 is selected, unless we want to build
it only for ARMv4, v5 or v6 kernels.

Besides, the only reason we can't have a kernel without any platform
selected is that the linker script has code in it to intentionally
barf on that because it's guaranteed not to boot on any hardware.

If we decide that building an allnoconfig without any platform
is actually ok, we could just as well rip out that error statement.
