Stop - we have to differentiate between the "machine type" (which is
imx) and the _implementation_ (which could be something like M9328MXL)
and the "board" (M83281ADS). 

What about this: 

	"machine type" (arch/arm/mach-xxx in Linux nomenclature): imx
	"implementation" (asm/arm/arch-xxx/yyy.h): MC9328MXL
	"board": M83281ADS
