Thanks for looking at this.

I see this as an architecture feature - perhaps a rename to something
like CONFIG_LEGACY_ARCH would help? I quite badly want to avoid moving
boards over one at a time, or having boards for a particular
architecture that still do things the old way - it just increases
maintenance and means that my eventual patch to remove
arch/xxx/lib/board.c cannot be applied.

My idea for this CONFIG is purely as a temporary measure before boards
more over to the generic approach.

Regards,
Simon
