We are planning on removing support for the KZM ARM11 platform in order to 
reduce maintenance burden.  We are assuming that this is a dead platform and 
removing support won't affect anyone but it would be useful to know who if 
anyone is currently using this platform and how much interest there is in 
ongoing support.  The platform was the original verification target of seL4 
over 10 years ago and by now there doesn't appear to be any ways to obtain new 
hardware.  It is starting to require more attention as the physical board we 
have is starting to intermittently fail independently from the KZM Qemu 
simulation target.

Currently, the KZM platform is the only ARMv6 platform that we support and 
supporting it requires a few work-arounds for emulating mechanisms that newer 
hardware supports.  Removing this platform also implies removing armv6 support. 

There is an older discourse topic for discussion on this topic here:
