That's not a new ARM platform, it is affecting the core arch/arm/kernel/, arch/arm/mm/ etc. files so that they can be compiled to an alternative instruction set (mostly 16-bit instructions). So it should eventually be merged via Russell's tree (or get his ack and push directly) My intention is indeed to merge this in the upcoming window (unless Russell has any more comments to the code).
