Default Will Froyo run on Qualcomm MSM 7227 ARMv6 processor?

There are a lot of interesting devices showed up recently, which based on Qualcomm MSM 7227 processor ARMv6.
Its a cheep and very nice processor for its price, and i was going to buy cheep divice, based on it, but there is a question appeared:
Will Android 2.2 Froyo work on this MSM 7227 processor?
Or it will be working only on ARMv7 Snapdragon, Cortex A8 and later processors?

A saw info that froyo works exclusively on ARMv7 processors and better,
аnd will not support ARMv6. Is that true? Or normal/official support of ARMv6 will be added later?

I don't see why it wouldn't - you might need to compile it yourself though, unless someone already has a rom out for the phone you want.
