And this is not really due to the board support code (which
you propose to remove) at all. It is almost always due to
breakage of something else. The patch I reference above is
a good example. Breakage in the non-MMU support code is
another example (and I have another patch I need to send to
fix a problem there too).

I don't follow. What is wrong with
arch/arm/mach-at91/include/mach/debug-macro.S?

The AT91x40 parts are pretty simple, what else do you expect?

I don't see anything to update. It does exactly what I want it to do.
The board support code you point at causes me no troubles, and not
very often do I need to fix/change/update it.

Well, I am sorry, I still disagree.
