Hmm, i would first really appreciate comments from People who know the
CAR code if the modification is correct. I don't know the code well
enough to tell for sure.

But it should be not that big problem to split up the patches.

Hmm, so i should 'svn cp' files like romstage.c, mainboard.c, etc?
Is the history really helpful if the target is different?
