I'm currently using "cortexm" as the architecture name. May be changed 
later on if necessary. The port will be a very iterative process anyway.

I'm currently using an STMicroelectronics STM3210E-EVAL board with an 
STM32F103ZET6 controller. Would be great to see support for Luminary 
processors early on, as this would help get the architecture, variant, 
platform layering right from the beginning.
