yes it his :) armv6/v7 support has been wanted for a long time now.
However, there's been ongoing discussions with Mark Tinguely, raj@ and others
about how to handle the MMU differences between <= v5 and >= v6, and I think
the consensus was we should create a new pmap_v6.c file, maybe using kobj as
is done in the ppc port. Maybe now is a good time to do so :)
