Sorry for the delay replying, I have been on vacation.

I have looked at the one one from koi8. While I there is a lot of good 
content there, I have trouble with the configuration method. Basically, 
he supports three boards by #fidef'ing based on a #define of a board 
type. The ifdef'ing logic gets fairly involved and I am concerned this 
method will not scale to a large number of different boards based on the 
Davinci processor.

I guess the first issue we need to resolve for Davinci support is what 
it the proper way to support a collection of boards that use the same 
underlying hardware, but have different memory architectures (ie NAND 
versus NOR), different PHY interfacesm but also have some shared code 
also. The ARM processor in the Davinci is an ARM926ejs, which is also 
shared by some of the OMAP line also.
