Can I suggest breaking the trend slightly based on comments people have
made about 2.5/2.6?  Let's call it CONFIG_PPC_5xxx (and someday fix all
of the others).

As others have mentioned, this is too generic, and should someone have
time, 8xx should be renamed m8xx.

Sounds like a good idea.

My question is, is it possible to support both U-Boot and $(VENDOR
FIRMWARE) in the same build?  If possible I'd like to avoid adding a
question for any type of firmware or a define_bool based on board
selection.  I think we allow for this on Sandpoints, so...
