Uhh, let's leave c++ out of this..

You can already easily share most of the code among boards
by having multiple MACHINE entries in the board-*.c file.
See board-n8x0.c for example.

Then you can spend some effort to create common platform
device init code, see gpmc-*.c and hsmmc.c for examples.

Tony
