Ok, but I think the several of the boards are capable of running with  
all flavors of MPC834x what do we do for them?  I know the MDS is and  
I'm questing TQM834x is as well?

I understand the desire, I just feel that it doesn't add anything  
because we've done a decent job of making the differences between  
them covered by feature configs.
