Wow.  Well, if this signals anything, it will be the end of opensource
ARM stuff.  Marvell are really, really closed minded in the past.

It also demonstrates what I was saying about x86.  AMD and Intel have
both abandoned everything not x86.  This signals a belief in their part
that they can focus x86 embedded solutions now.
