In my spare time I have been working on a BSP for an outdated but possibly
useful simulator (SimpleScalar: http://www.simplescalar.com/v4test.html) which
relies on the ARM ISA without thumb, so armv4 is the proper CPU model for it. 
If there is no interest in having support for pure ARM ports in the CVS then
that is fine, I can keep my effort local.

FWIW: I have managed to get up through bsp_start, but get a hang somewhere
during bsp_interrupt_initialize.  Since this is a part-time effort, I don't
know that I will resolve the issue.
