[U-Boot] Switching CPU between SPL and non-SPL build

What I really need is the ability to change "CPU" between SPL and non
SPL build.  This gets set too early for the board config file to
override.  What I really need is something like this in the generated
include/config.mk:

ARCH   = arm
ifeq ($(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD),y)
CPU    = arm720t
else
CPU    = armv7
endif
BOARD  = seaboard
VENDOR = nvidia
SOC    = tegra2

As an experiment I tried this, and it seems to do what I want.  I
don't see a clean way to do this without it being a hack or really
intrusive though.
