I hope we could be more ambitious and enter the single zImage /
multiplatform setup early. We could start by simply calling the
armada370 / armadaxp flavour "multiplatform". And then any new
architectures would only be added by including them to multiplatform
flavour - and only accepted if adding doesn't break existing platforms
supported by our multiplatform kernel.
