It requires that the kernel be changed even when a new board doesn't
require that the kernel actually *do* anything differently. It's
gratuitous duplication, even if the bit being duplicated is small.
Why is a single ppc_md, which no board is forced to use, but can be used
by any board without special requirements, a bad thing?
