[U-Boot] Generic Board Progress

Hi.
Analysis for the latest commit (commit be9f643ae6aa9044c60fe80e3a2c10be8371c692).
[1] The number of converted boards (based on the number of *_defconfig):
367 / 1194 = 30.7 %
[2] The number of architectures with generic board support:
8 / 15 = 53.3 %
Done: ARC, ARM, Blackfin, MIPS, NIOS2, PowerPC, Sandbox, x86
Not Yet: AVR32, M68K, MicroBlaze, NDS32, OpenRisc, SH, Sparc
[3] Dead line
doc/README.generic-board says:
----------------------------->8-------------------------------------------- DEPRECATION NOTICE FOR arch/<arch>/lib/board.c
For board maintainers: Please submit patches for boards you maintain before July 2014, to make them use generic board.
For architecture maintainers: Please submit patches to remove your architecture-specific board.c file before October 2014. -----------------------------8<--------------------------------------------
It also says: ----------------------------->8-------------------------------------------- Boards or architectures not converted over to general board by the end of 2014 may be forcibly changed over (potentially causing run-time breakage) or removed. -----------------------------8<--------------------------------------------

I have Microblaze patches in progress. Just don't have time to finish it but hopefully I will have move information soon.
Thanks, Michal
