Another approach would be to simply create and include a "god mode" config 
object that just allows access to all periferals. As far as I can see, such a 
config object would just work on all boards. There's nothing really board 
specific in the config object, and it's rather lame anyway to have to go and 
compile a new bootloader just because you want to use a SPI controller...

The config object I compile into the pmu firmware is of that type anyway.
