They can still install it from the Market since there's no CPU checks currently the last time I checked but it won't run at all according to a thread discussing a custom 2.2 firmware for the G1. So the slowest phones running the 10.1 android port successfully will probably always be ARMv7 or above.

Despite the fact FP10.1's requirements are listed as 800mhz ARMv7 minimum for WVGA screens, Verizon's marketing materials for the Droid update have the first key feature being Flash 10.1 support. I don't know if Adobe will take away Flash 10.1 from 550/600mhz ARMv7 phones after this. Considering how many people are using the Droid currently, Verizon and Adobe would be railed against if it were removed at this point.
