Each target sort of already has this code 'cpu_list' for printing supported CPU models. What we need is to generalize it as most of the targets implement it the same way. And then reuse generic code for 'cpu_type -> cpu_model' so that boards won't have to be involved in it. So currently cpu_list needs a volunteer who would be able to generalize it and cleanup all targets across the the tree.
