As IRC si (to the best or my knowledge?) not logged anywhere, I would
like to hear the rationale for this decision.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAICT ARMv7 is an official name
for a specific ARM architecture, so ARMV7 is something I will probably
associate with the right thing.

Compared this to CPU_V7, which can be about anything - which CPU are
we talking about here, please?

I still remember the ATWAV syndrome and how long it took to overcome
it in code, so do we really have now a stage where we assume that all
the world's an ARM ?  [SCNR]


In short:  Is there a chance to come up with a better name than CPU_V7?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
