Currently we build all board files regardless of the final zImage
target.  This is sub-optimal (in terms on compilation) and leads to
problems in one platform needlessly causing failures for other
platforms.

Um.. I believe the one platform breaking another is actually working
as intended.  I think Paulus did it this way to stop people breaking
platforms other than the one they were working on without realising
it.

But that doesn't make sense to enforce that accross CPU families since
they cannot be built together within a single kernel anyway...
