New models speculation (bellatrix)

I was curious to see @ilovejedd mention references to a new platform 'bellatrix' seen mentioned in the most recent update bin.

Poking lightly in the rootfs image, I see the following interesting bits :

# A new CPU type (MediaTek?), so no longer using the NXP i.MX chips ?
Code:
eink_device()
  if [ "$(f_platform)" = "bellatrix" ]; then
  echo '        Driver      "mtk"' >> $XCONFFILE
  else
  echo '        Driver      "imx"' >> $XCONFFILE
  fi
# Looks like at least a new 7" device is coming....
Code:
      # Default value for 7 inch device, TODOBELLATRIX Remove after v2 is widely available
      echo '        Option      "Rotate"  "UR"' >> $XCONFFILE
# Possibly a new 6", 7" and .... 10" device ???
Code:
elif [ "$(f_platform)" = "bellatrix" ]; then
    _v_id=`cat /proc/board_id | cut -c 4-6`
    case ${_v_id} in
        BL6)
            f_modprobe gt9xx_ts
        BL7)
            /etc/upstart/cyttsp5
        BLX)
            /etc/upstart/pt5
# Though the 'Rex' platform isn't new, I hadn't heard of 'Jaeger' or 'Malbec' before, quite a few new devices there it seems?
Code:
_v_id=$(cat /proc/board_id)
case "$_v_id" in
# TATTOO ids
# malbec
      23X) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      248) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      249) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      26J) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      26K) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ;
 _v_wan=0 ;;
      26L) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      27A) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      27B) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
# bellatrix platform
      BLX) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      BL6) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
      BL7) _v_platform=bellatrix ; _v_board=malbec ; _f_do_rev $_v_id ; _v_wan=0 ;;
