Where do you get that idea from? Chris said that Tegra wouldn't be supported on armv7hl but would continue to work on armv5tel. The only reason why Tegra wouldn't work with the armv7 port would be due to it's lack of NEON instructions, since it is an armv7 processor. It was implied rather than explicit.
