Here are some questions that we should figure out answers to before 
deciding:

How should macros be named that only apply to specific OMAP4 chips (i.e., 
what happens if TI repeats a OMAP2420 to 2430 transition)?

How should macros be handled that are only applicable to later ES levels?  
Tagging ES levels in macros has caught many bugs in the OMAP2/3 code.
