If you look at the patch you see the only thing we need to know is the clock
rate of the CPU. Then you can to a mfdcr() to calc the base baud. If there
is an external clock then we need the basebaud from somewhere else.
We dumped OpenBIOS and put on PPCBoot, but I think OpenBIOS provides the
clock speed.

Yes there is a lot of work to do, but I would like to see it happen.
Right now we have to do seperate builds for our custum board and one for
our Walnut boards and that is a pain.
I though it would be good to start small and see how things go, before another
fork got started :).
