Hrm.  At least migor was active relatively recently, Guennadi was
working on it in 2012 which isn't *that* long ago and there may well be
systems still in the field.  There's also still board code for migor in
arch/sh so it's an upstream platform.  Some of the others like SSI and
HAC are definitely not showing any signs of anyone being interested
though and I'd not be surprised if they'd been broken at some point.

Manuel, Guennadi - what do you think about this?
