Makes sense, though I guess I'd argue that SOC is also a wrong name (but 
at least it doesn't conflict with the ARCH_* symbols that already 
exist).  That'll touch a bunch of trees, adding the Arm folks to see if 
they're on board.

I don't care a ton either way, my only opinion here is that RISC-V and 
Arm should use the same scheme.  If the Arm folks want to move over to 
SOC_* that works for me, and has the advantage of being  no work on my 
end ;)
