Also the newer ARMs don't just have "new ASM instructions". There are major
MMU changes, for example, as well as SMP support.

Raspberry Pi will became very popular and it's a big chance
for promoting ReactOS(if there will be an effort to port it to
ARMv6Z). I'm not very familiar with multiplatform coding so correct me
if i'm wrong: the main idea in porting ReactOS to ARM is replacing ASM
code into C in parts where it's possible and use ARM ASM where it's
not possible.
So switching between different ARM versions should be mainly just
matter of ASM syntax. And this is not so hard (afaik) as converting
ASM to C.
Nope, there is much more work involved. There are big differences between
x86 and ARM architectures so the port needs some rewrites, you can give a
look to the ARM branch.
Sadly seems to not be so easy.
