    Add support for Freescale B4860 and variant SoCs. Features of B4860 are
    (incomplete list):
    
    Six fully-programmable StarCore SC3900 FVP subsystems, divided into three
        clusters-each core runs up to 1.2 GHz, with an architecture highly
        optimized for wireless base station applications
    Four dual-thread e6500 Power Architecture processors organized in one
        cluster-each core runs up to 1.8 GHz
    Two DDR3/3L controllers for high-speed, industry-standard memory interface
        each runs at up to 1866.67 MHz
    MAPLE-B3 hardware acceleration-for forward error correction schemes
        including Turbo or Viterbi decoding, Turbo encoding and rate matching,
        MIMO MMSE equalization scheme, matrix operations, CRC insertion and
        check, DFT/iDFT and FFT/iFFT calculations, PUSCH/PDSCH acceleration,
        and UMTS chip rate acceleration
    CoreNet fabric that fully supports coherency using MESI protocol between
        the e6500 cores, SC3900 FVP cores, memories and external interfaces.
        CoreNet fabric interconnect runs at 667 MHz and supports coherent and
        non-coherent out of order transactions with prioritization and
        bandwidth allocation amongst CoreNet endpoints.
    Data Path Acceleration Architecture, which includes the following:
      Frame Manager (FMan), which supports in-line packet parsing and general
        classification to enable policing and QoS-based packet distribution
      Queue Manager (QMan) and Buffer Manager (BMan), which allow offloading
        of queue management, task management, load distribution, flow ordering,
        buffer management, and allocation tasks from the cores
      Security engine (SEC 5.3)-crypto-acceleration for protocols such as
        IPsec, SSL, and 802.16
      RapidIO manager (RMAN) - Support SRIO types 8, 9, 10, and 11 (inbound and
        outbound). Supports types 5, 6 (outbound only)
    Large internal cache memory with snooping and stashing capabilities for
        bandwidth saving and high utilization of processor elements. The
        9856-Kbyte internal memory space includes the following:
      32 Kbyte L1 ICache per e6500/SC3900 core
      32 Kbyte L1 DCache per e6500/SC3900 core
      2048 Kbyte unified L2 cache for each SC3900 FVP cluster
      2048 Kbyte unified L2 cache for the e6500 cluster
      Two 512 Kbyte shared L3 CoreNet platform caches (CPC)
    Sixteen 10-GHz SerDes lanes serving:
      Two Serial RapidIO interfaces. Each supports up to 4 lanes and a total
        of up to 8 lanes
      Up to 8-lanes Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) controller for glue-
        less antenna connection
      Two 10-Gbit Ethernet controllers (10GEC)
      Six 1G/2.5-Gbit Ethernet controllers for network communications
      PCI Express controller
      Debug (Aurora)
    Two OCeaN DMAs
    Various system peripherals
    182 32-bit timers
