Greg has submitted the new platforms for arm-soc but building of them
will be broken until this update goes in.

I guess we have the option of picking up the platform patch but not
enabling it in the ks8695 defconfig until it's buildable (or enable it
and have build breakage, which isn't awesome). Or, if you're OK with
it (and give us an acked-by) we can include the mach-types patch in
the same branch where the platform support gets merged.

Russell, do you have a preference?
