It's not contradictory.  Andy said not to share PIXIS code (you don't
have our FPGA on your board) and not to share LAW/TLB setup.  I agree
with that.  There's other stuff that could be shared that isn't
board-specific, such as the RCW printing code, probably parts of the DDR
code, etc.  The point is to evaluate things individually when copying
them as to whether they should be shared instead, rather than either
blindly copying or blindly sharing.
