To be honest I don't understand why you would want to do this at
runtime. You cannot select multiple SoCs in the kernel build anyway,
nor would you want to. Trying to have same kernel to boot on ARM v6
and ARM v7 would already be freaky enough. On top of that mixing 7201a
with all the baggage that it comes with 8x60 just wouldn't make sense.
These architectures are so different that it I can't see that ever
being useful. When would you ever envision building for multiple of
these SoCs at the same time?
