At the time, when we added PCI support for  the  TQM834x  boards,  it
looked  as  if  it was board specific. When new 83xx boards get added
and it turns out to be more generic then the code should be moved  to
cpu/mpc83xx;  the  question is how many #ifdef's will be needed - the
TQM834x will probably require some.

Yes, in theory. When you have to deal with real  hardware  (and  it's
buggy early incarnations) things may look different.

Life would be so much easier if we could  just  look  at  the  source
code.                                                   -- Dave Olson
