With this, we will lose reason to drop old unmaintained boards
that might be an obstacle for our further cleanup.
(for example, per-board config.mk, per-board linker script)

The next chance to drop unmaintained boards is the end of 2016,
where non-DM boards will be dropped.
At that point, I guess most of maintainers would choose removal
rather than conversion as the DM conversion requires much work.

BTW, we will never notice run-time breakages because such
unmaintaned boards are never run.

I am not opposed to this patch, but bofore it is applied,
I'd like to drop one more board.

This is now applicable because Heiko, the maintainer of this board,
gave acked-by.
