Re: [PATCH] powerpc: Kill machine numbers

One thing I have been wondering about is what should be the right way
to check whether we're running on something based on the
Cell Broadband Engine Architecture, if that is needed somewhere.
My original idea was to make this the platform number, but this
seems impractical now.

Just check the PVR?  Either directly, or in the device tree.
It's not likely that there will be a million different CBEA
compliant CPUs any time soon ;-)

There really should be some other OF property in the CPU nodes
that tells us the CPU is CBEA, but I don't think we have one
right now :-(
