Unfortunately excluding Nokia n8x0 would turn the omap2plus
defconfig into an omap3plus_defconfig effectively.
This is also something that has come up repeatedly in the
past though: omap24xx (and imx31 to a lesser degree) support
in multiplatform kernels is really annoying because it
requires a lot of special cases to also work on SMP enabled
machines, and it completely breaks on ARMv8-aarch32 machines.
