We should maybe create a wiki page somewhere. Either in the kernel wiki
(I don't have an account for that) or the Debian Wiki.

Here's what I still use:

- Renesas SH7724 Evovec
- Renesas SH7786LCR Evaluation Board
- LANDISK SH7751
- Sega Dreamcast (although I currently don't use that)
- NextVoD (currently not in the kernel)
