AIUI there are many versions of OMAP; can we build one flavour that
would run on all/most of them?

I would really like to use the forthcoming support for Device Trees to
limit the number of different ARM kernel images we need to build.  We
would presumably need to rework the definition of 'flavours' so multiple
flavours could use the same kernel images and different DTs.
