I agree that any allusion to v7 isn't a good idea.

M1 and M3 appear to be intrinsically the same. I suppose cortex-m would
be fine. People could do variant ports as needed.

Out of curiosity, what eval board are you using for your port ?
I have access to a LM3S6965EVB from Luminary and could chip in the
porting process.
