There is no port yet, if you want to do the port you should read up on
arch/ppc/kernel/prep_*.c and arch/ppc/boot/*.  Also see the 5100
documentation at http://www.mcg.mot.com.  The 5100 claims to try to
unify the legacy 2300/2400/2600/2700/3600/4600 boards into one board
with it's ISA bridge on a PMC card mechanism but it moves the UARTs
to the Hawk X-bus at 16 byte register offsets requiring some serial
driver hacks.
