Sorry I must have misread this as 'architecture' instead of 'board'. I suppose this would work since there is a simple CONFIG switch to move over. The concern with doing this for a whole architecture was the board breakages, and this idea would avoid that. I wonder what would be the incentive for boards to move over? Perhaps eventually it could be the default, or we could discourage patches to the old code. I have brought in PPC to board_f.c and board_r.c but not dealt with relocation. Once I have done that, gone through the new x86 series again and MAKEALL doesn't scream too loudly I'll do another RFC along these lines. If Graham can move his initcall stuff along too then we can also get rid of the #ifdefs, which it IMO the main ugliness with my RFC.
