problematic part here is 'cpu_type -> cpu_model' conversion
without introducing back cpu model names in boards code.
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.
