This change touches a large number of BSPs in an important area.

I spent some time this year fixing a 10+ year old IRQ bug related to these
defines in the MVME2700 BSP that was not easy to see and did not appear to be an
issue when reviewing the code and the changes to it. As a result I am wary of
changes in this area without suitable testing.

Could you please provide a list of the BSPs effected by this change?

Can you please indicate which BSPs you have tested the change on and if the
tests are on simulation or real hardware?

I do not expect us to have complete coverage however I do think we need a plan
that documents what we have tested, what we think is covered by other test
results and what is not tested. I also think we will all need to provide test
results on hardware we have.

How do we stage the changes so we can perform the testing?

Should we test all the changes as a set and bisect if we have an issue? It may
be faster if there are no issues.

What test or tests to we consider have to pass for the changes to be accepted?
