Yes, and this would be similar to what we've done for mach-imx and
mach-omap2 in the past.

However, I think the Cragganmore/Speyside board that Mark mentioned
is not in the category of easily converted machines, so leaving only the
DT-enabled machines around would not help him.

If this is actually the case, one other possibility would be to remove
all the board files except for that one, in the hope that the transformation
(even a partial one) to DT becomes easier when there is no risk of
breaking other machines.
