I think it's not too complicated really. The only current ARM architecture that would be reasonable for MorphOS is ARMv7-A.
Yes, the "cortex" bunch. Those are superscalar, Quite some favourites are there (OMAPs, Snapdragons...).

architecture licensees' implementations like Marvell's Sheeva.
My brother, who has experience building computerrs with ARM processors (the humble ones, I'd add), told me that Marvell's original offerings were not strictly ARM cores, but something that they bought from Intel (XScale) that happens to be compatible, although it's not an ARM license. He also told me how hard is working with Marvell, they have zero interest in small parties, and hide documentation. In the end, he had to go for a cheap and accesible Samsung chip.
