The problem with db1x00 in particular is that its sort of a 
catch all for all the Alchemy boards that don't have a proper home
of their own, so there really isn't a DB1000/DB1100/DB1500/DB1550 
header file.  That means either the mess goes in here or it goes
in asm-mips/mach-db1x00/db1x00.h, and I think I rather prefer it to
be in the .c file, just so one doesn't have to chase down the 
MACH_ALCHEMY_TYPE define.
