Hmm, Well, I think I would prefer MACH_DLINK_KIRKWOOD_DT,
MACH_DLINK_ORION5X_DT.  This way, all the dtb's for a given manf/SoC are
built in one go, and the correct board-dt file is built as well.

So, in my case, I would do MACH_GLOBALSCALE_KIRKWOOD_DT, and
MACH_GLOBALSCALE_ARMADA_DT.

Grant, Arnd, sound sensible?

Nope, just a momentary symlink'd /dev/brain -> /dev/random.  Fixed now,
thanks.

thx,

Jason.
