obviously not critical, but it might be useful for readers to see
explicitly what constitutes adding support for a new board, file by
file. your choice to apply it or not. i *think* i got everything.

+A real-life example of adding a new board
+=========================================
+
+ As a working example of adding a new board, consider the files
+and directories that were added/changed to support the OMAP3-based
+BeagleBoard.
+
+ First, the new files:
+
+ ./board/ti/beagle/
+ beagle.c
+ beagle.h
+ config.mk
+ Makefile
+ ./include/configs/omap3_beagle.h
+
+Followed by changes to existing files:
+
+ Makefile
+ ========
+
+ omap3_beagle_config : unconfig
+ @$(MKCONFIG) $(@:_config=) arm arm_cortexa8 beagle ti omap3
+
+ MAKEALL
+ =======
+
+ LIST_ARM_CORTEX_A8=" \
+ devkit8000 \
+ omap3_beagle \
+ omap3_overo \
+ ...
+
+ include/asm-arm-types.h
+ =======================
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_MACH_OMAP3_BEAGLE
+ # ifdef machine_arch_type
+ # undef machine_arch_type
+ # define machine_arch_type __machine_arch_type
+ # else
+ # define machine_arch_type MACH_TYPE_OMAP3_BEAGLE
+ # endif
+ # define machine_is_omap3_beagle() (machine_arch_type ==
MACH_TYPE_OMAP3_BEAGLE)
+ #else
+ # define machine_is_omap3_beagle() (0)
+ #endif
+
+ doc/README.omap3
+ ================
+
+ Build
+ =====
+
+ * BeagleBoard:
+
+ make omap3_beagle_config
+ make
