The 'mvebu' family will include the 'kirkwood' parts you are already building
for along with the 'orion' and 'mv78xx0' when building for ARMv5, and
will include the existing 'dove' soc in addition to the new Armada 370 and
Armada XP when building for ARMv7.

All the other ones you are currently building are ARMv6 or ARMv7 based, so
I'd hope that in the long run (maybe the end of the year), we can get to
the point of building them into a common kernel.
