great!

sounds good, you'll need to add a MAINTAINERS entry, a MAKEALL entry,
and preferably add a doc/README.<myboard> file.

yes

depends on the bits themselves; please send your patch for review on
this list.

the 83xx specific bits (including the general board support bits)
should probably go through me, and Stefan Roese can pick up your
NAND-specific bits, unless Wolfgang beats us to it.
