So these URLs do still exist in the Wayback machine; the above is
https://web.archive.org/web/20180829171124/http://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-38x/
for example.  If we delete the links, we make it harder for any
interested person to ever find them.  Assuming that we want to keep
information about these product families in the documentation at all,
I'd think that we would want to have the online information as well.  So
I'd replace these with wayback links, or else just leave them as they
are so that sufficiently motivated people can look them up themselves...

Make sense?

Thanks,
