There is an arch/hppa which contains hppa CPU specific support code.

arch/hp700 contains hp700-and-machines-similar-to-it support code.

When you say hp800, which hp800 do you mean?  The old hp800 or the
new hp800? :-)  The new hp800s are very different from the old hp800s,
and if we were to support the old hp800s, it would probably have to
be as a different port (i.e. arch/hp800), and probably a different
MACHINE_ARCH, as well (I seem to recall that HPPA 1.0 and HPPA 1.1
aren't quite compatible, much in the same way that 68010 and 68020
are not quite compatible).
