I don't really care one way or the other -- each entry adds the
precise SOC part number in parens, so there is all the detail anyone
would need.

I changed the entries on the off chance that someone looking at this
file would then go looking for a cortex-a8 subdirectory in
arch/arm/cpu.

I am willing to follow whatever the consensus is for v3 of the patch set.
