1. Unsure

2. Uncertain

3. Create a new flash image platform. If it is an image compiled for terrier,
expect it is a terrier. Ugly. It looks like this is the solution used by Sharp.

4. Try to guess version from PROM (md5 or checking of selected bytes).
I did not find any occurrence of plain text model name there, but checking e.
g. checksum or so might help. Easy to implement.

5. Modify updater for flashing zImage to the NAND, and add a small code
to filter out selected command line arguments before starting kernel.
I don't know, how complicated it could be.


Implementation possibilities:

a) Add machine_is_terrier and replacing all occurrences except MTD one
"machine_is_borzoi" by "machine_is_borzoi || machine_is_terrier". Would
require some user space changes.

b) Keep only machine_is_borzoi and add non standard branching to this
one place of the code.
