For using the VME bus for communication between two SBCs, I think we could
use the CRCSR space to provide some information about the resources used on

provides. Possibly using the "device tree" stuff used on PowerPC, Blackfin
and Sparc archs (I believe) for passing device layout between the firmware
and kernel at boot.

Blackfin doesnt use device trees and there are no plans to do so
