Agreed, we need to go through and figure out what all really needs to  
get moved over for other boards.  I know 4xx has only one board

I think we stopped taking new submissions to arch/ppc a while ago...  
someone sneak something in on us?  We tend to only do bug fixes or  
deal with issues related to moving things between arch/ppc & arch/ 
powerpc.
