I agree with that.  Everything that's in common between the Au boards
should be in the common directory, arch/mips/au1000/common. But like Dan
said, by the time you're done with the entire board port, you may find
other unique things to your board which require additional ifdefs, and
keeping the board separate would be cleaner.

If this a board that's available off the shelf to customers?
