Does this every get called, meaning does anything match machine_is
(mpc83xx)?

I truly dislike this "machine_is" method.  Other architectures
do this and it becomes a real PITA.  It seems to evolve
into something that never has the proper, useful granularity.
Surprisingly, it often ends up as a guarantee you can't boot
common kernels on similar boards, which is what
I suspect you are trying to achieve.

This is a case where your board specific initialization
should call this, or fill in a ppc_md indirect pointer that
if set is called at the proper time.


Thanks.
