I think you have two options:

1) Complain with RMK about the removal of yoru MACH_ID. Explain to
him that you use this elsewhere and ash to re-add it.

2) If you don;t use Linux on that board, there will be no code who
ever looks at bi_arch_number, so just pass a random number (like 0)
there.

Best regards,

It became apparent that one reason why the Ice Giants were known as
the Ice Giants was because they were, well, giants. The other was
that they were made of ice. -Terry Pratchett, _Sourcery_
