The cm-x255/cm-x270 came up in another discussion last year because
of its unusual PCI_HOST_ITE8152 PCI support that I'd like to kill off.
We did not see a strong reason to keep the board support at that time,
but nobody sent any patches. I think it would be reasonable to just
kill off MACH_ARMCORE, PCI_HOST_ITE8152 and
MTD_NAND_CM_X270 along with anything else that is no longer
used after those are gone, such as the pcmcia support.
