Be realistic; we're talking about 124 bytes (vs 64 bytes for the pico
bd_t).  If memory consumption is a concern, there are far more
interesting targets.  ppcboot.h is butt-ugly, but at least it's
somewhat common.

If its not in mainline, then I'm not concerned about it because then
you're patching anyway.  I made sure it is easy to patch in a new bd_t
so nobody is screwed.

When those board ports are pushed for mainline inclusion, then we can
add the appropriate conditionals to virtex.h, but in the mean time
it's a moot point.

Understood, but  I do not want to encourage that approach between now
and when we jump to arch/powerpc (legacy bootloader support, yadda,
yadda).

Cheers,
