Well that may have been the original intent but in the thread "Re:
kilauea compilation breaks with v3.3 kernel and ELDK 4.2" we're seeing
4xx break 8xx as the 8xx binutils (in use) doesn't have a mfdcrx
instruction.

So by breaking it up we gain a small decrease in compile times, less
chance of a very targeted build breaking an unrelated board.  We do as
you point out potentially delay discovery of breakage for some time.

I don't mind either way but the patch is out there now :)

Yours Tony
