Only the 3ds debug board, not the mx31_3ds board as a whole.

Look at Jasons next patch, this is what I meant. We can reuse the 3ds
debug board stuff in the mx31_3ds.

Well, the ultimate goal is to support all i.MX ports in one kernel, but
this is still a long way to go. We made quite some progress with Uwes
patches to avoid namespace collisions in the different register defines,
but there is still enough left to do. Try to tweak Kconfig to enable for
example i.MX27 and i.MX25 support and see what happens...
