It'd have to be more finely grained than sub-architecture since a kernel for one target won't necessarily work on other CPU of the same sub-architecture (e.g. a Kirkwood kernel won't work on all ARMv5 processors). I am still assuming the split is going to be between softfp and hardfp (ABI), rather than arch (ARMv6 vs ARMv7). Oh, and there's no such thing ar ARMv9 (yet at least).
