Most of the changes I'm making at the moment are confined to generic ARM
code, so any code for your platform should just carry on working.
I'll occasionally change something that needs mechanical changes to all
the existing ports.  Anything that needs more serious machine-dependent
changes will have to be discussed here anyway, since I don't think anyone
can test things on all the supported platforms.

That sounds like a good place to start.
