If you post it (or point me to where I can find it) I can at least get a grip 
of what you're suggesting and then see what I can do.

My actual plan is to help get the colibri-pxa270 stuff merged in, but it seems 
we should fix some duplication first to make way for that.

I'll very soon not have any PXA board at all... :-) I was mostly (at this 
point) thinking about the knowledge about how they differ and similar. I mean, 
does it make sense to try to make a single lowlevel_init.S for all PXAXXX 
models or one for each PXA2xx/PXA3xx or do we need PXA25x/PXA27X/PXA3xx etc...

But I guess your initial patch might reveal that to me?
