it would be bisectable because then there would be only one change:
 - every board would move load_sernum_ethaddr() to board init (as well as any 
side effects that the change requires)
 - the common ppc code would stop calling load_sernum_ethaddr()

i think this is the only outstanding issue for the patchset before Ben merges 
it into whatever testing tree he has ...
