8xx should be ok now, yet, we have to be aware that only 2 platforms are in arch/powerpc
and there are plenty in arch/ppc still.

The situation is better here - most stuff is very similar to what is done (except sandpoint but that's another story)
and the number of platforms is reasonable.

for the 8xx feild, there is quite a lot of boards...
with all the "specifics", it is nearly impossible to provide robust port without actual HW
(or, heh, the result won't work at all).
