The motorola_powerpc shared bsp is fairly general. The
board/processor specific stuff is handled by #ifdef's. If the chipset
on the board is more or less supported by the existing code, a
nominally functional bsp should be easy to implement. If not, it will
require adding definitions and code to support the alternate hardware.
