How great!

Please note that we will be able to use (or it works already? I
haven't tested yet) kernel modules.  If we use modules for driver,
there's no difference for "vmlinux" between SH7707's and SH7709's.

It's OK for me to have some config option for "short cut".  For
example, short-cut "SH7707" which means the combination of:

	CPU Type:
		SH7707/SH7709/SH7709A/SH7729
	Enable SH7707 only drivers

I think that introducing new CPU type option for SH7707 is not
relevant.
