The hardest problem will be keeping each/all the ports conf.c in sync.  Each
system will be to build the kernels of any arm32 platform.  (just as in
-current any mips system can build kernels for any other mips system regardless
of endianness.

The more interesting stuff is under etc & distrib since those will probably be
platform-dependent.
