8x60 and 8960 are expected to diverge over time. It is not worth it to
try and make them common in this early stage where they are the same
simply because a very small amount of 8960 (and 8660 for that matter)
has been sent upstream.

We currently use ARCH_MSM* for SoCs, and MACH_* for boards based on
those SoCs. For this reason I think this scheme will be confusing and
lead to machine_is_() calls everywhere.

I suggest we rename 8x60 to 8660 (SteveMo's idea actually) if the
current naming is largely considered unacceptable.

thanks,
Steve
