Please don't go there :-)  I'm having enough trouble meeting reasonable
performance goals in 2.6 on embedded systems that I don't need the 
overhead
of code bloat or extra cycles to determine what board I'm on.  Contrary 
to
the belief of developers, products don't have the resource wealth we see
on these evaluation and ODM boards.  Embedded products still require
we build kernels (and everything else) as concisely and efficient as 
possible.
Thanks.
