To be honest, it seems like the patch to add the Tegra30 deltas to the
existing Tegra20 code would be massively smaller than duplicating all of
Tegra20 as Tegra30 and applying those same changes. In the kernel, we
have both Tegra20 and Tegra30 support with run-time differentiation, and
the number of places where we have to do something different is not that
large at all. With the current patch series, there's a huge amount of
code to wade through, so spotting any places that haven't been updated
for Tegra30, or weren't intended to be updated yet, is somewhat painful.
