ok, if only non-dt machine entries will stay in this file, this request is 
already obsolete. my initial non-dt support patch was NAK'ed because the 
kirkwood arch doesn't accept old-fashioned board support patches anymore.

then, i guess, the problem is on the uboot side, at least if they want to 
support both device tree based and old-fashioned setup code (eg. backported 
device support.)
