Commit 0c10962a033 from Hervé was part of a bigger refactor series, so I 
don't think he is interested.

Now back to this board, I am having hard time to understand what it 
models. IIUC it predates the Malta board, and was trying to model a 
board able to run the first MIPS cpu when the port was added in 2005 
(see commit 6af0bf9c7c3a).
The Malta board was added 1 year later (commit 5856de800df) and models a 
real hardware.

As Aurelien acked to step down maintaining it, it seems the perfect 
timing to start its deprecation process. I'll prepare a patch for 5.0 
(unless someone is really using it and willing to maintain it).

Regards,

Phil.
