I wonder what we actually gain by having all these fine-grained checks
in the kernel. Why not just reduce the compile-time checks to just
EXYNOS4 and EXYNOS5?

The drivers can easily implement code for all variants using
run-time checks, but I think it would be easier if building an EXYNOS4
kernel would just run on all EXYNOS4 machines.
