CONFIG_MACH_TYPE is used to set the machine type number in the
common arm code instead of setting it in the board code.
Boards with dynamically discoverable machine types can still set the
machine type number in the board code.

v2:	Document the option as mandatory.
	Move the bi_arch_number setting to board_init_f()

Hi Albert,


Do you plan on including this in the current merge window?

Done. The other two will be going in as well as they were initially 
submitted before the merge window closure.
