I'll apply this shortly.  But we've been saying for a long while that
things need converint to GENERIC_BOARD and stuff that doesn't get
converted is getting removed (since we've got even bigger things coming
along and if we can't convince people to do and test the "small" things
why do the larger things on those platforms).  So please push up the
chain that some time needs to be spent on mpc83xx support upstream, at
least for basic testing.  Thanks.
