Simply making a somewhat arbitrary split of SoC types into subtargets
the way you're describing is a bad idea - it wastes lots of extra CPU
cycles for building all images.
As for ramips: at least rt28xx and rt30xx support cannot coexist in the
same kernel image due to memory layout changes - not sure about rt3883,
but there's probably a good reason for that one too.
You're not giving any proper justification for your proposed subtarget
split (which is overkill anyway).
