They should be since I see this in gcc:

ARM_CORE("arm9tdmi",      arm9tdmi,     4T,    FL_LDSCHED, fastmul)
ARM_CORE("arm920",        arm920,       4T,    FL_LDSCHED, fastmul)
ARM_CORE("arm920t",       arm920t,      4T,    FL_LDSCHED, fastmul)
ARM_CORE("arm922t",       arm922t,      4T,    FL_LDSCHED, fastmul)
ARM_CORE("arm940t",       arm940t,      4T,    FL_LDSCHED, fastmul)

I take that to mean that the 920 is the same as the 940
to gcc and we already have support for 3 920 based BSPs.

Probably one of the ARM920 ones if I had to guess.
Most of the work will be in device drivers.

We talk about first in CPU family, first with CPU model,
etc.  I think this is logically another board since the CPU
core appears to be supported.

If you need help, that's what I am here for.  I could lend
you a hand to get the ARM working. :-D
