Sorry but i had some delays in these days, especially due to a bug
in the kernel.org 4.6.3 toolchain for i686:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/6/654

I am about to send in some days amcore board patch
already set up to work with generic board support.

Once the set is accepted, we should be able to convert the other boards, 
or re-introduce easily the boards.
