Any views on how we make sure that this list gets maintained?

This binding feels like it probably is the right place to keep the
exhaustive, "official" list of ARM CPU compatible strings, but I would
not be surprised if it gets stale.

Also, do we worry about the "arm," namespace for compatible strings
becoming overcrowded?

Currently we're shovelling a whole load of things in there, some of
which are not ARM products.

Thiry-party implementations like mohawk, sa11*, xsc*, fa526 and feroceon
are not ARM products, and should be in a different, appropriate vendor
namespace.

Cheers
