    I am porting to a new board we are building (Dual Power PC 750gx and a
    Marvel 6370.) This is, as will be obvious from the question :-( my
    first port. I have copied several machine dependant files under
    arch/ppc/platform/ to new names named for my platform. How do I get
    this "machine type" to show up when I run make config? Or better yet
    is there a document that explains how this works?

    I have searched using google and read lots of stuff under
    documentation/ but I must be looking for the wrong terms because I
    just haven't found anything about new platforms or machine support as
    it related to make config.

    Thanks,

    Clay
