Okay, that is working a bit better, not quite booting yet, but a little
further along :-).

Couple of bugs I've noticed so far: In board-stamp9g20.c and
board-sam9g20ek.c you have missed the .init_irq initialisation change
for the first MACHINE_START. It causes a build failure if either of
these boards are included.

Also at91x40 (e.g. board-eb01.c) does not get converted? I don't known
anything about this SoC. Is this intentional?
