[fpc-devel] DIFF patch for changing to table driven processor definitions for ARM

[David Welch]

need to apply this patch, like the wiki thing maybe there is a place I
have to sign up to be able to check in to svn, otherwise.  The lpc and
sam7 parts are ARM7TDMI which is an armv4t not remotely able to
support the armv7 instructions.  the correction also needs to be made
to allow armv7m or cortexm3.  If we are going to mix the architecture
(armv7m) and marketings name for the core (cortexm3) we should be
consistent and start doing things like provide an arm7tdmi for the
other two families.  LIkewise anywhere it says if cortexm3 it should
say if cortexm3 or armv7m then.  if armv4 or if armv4t or if arm7tdmi
then...   Ideally not use the name cortexm3 and instead only use
armv7m.  Have a wiki page or readme that says if stellaris or stm32 or
lpc1xxx then armv7m if lpc2xxx or sam7 or generic arm then armv4...
