booke is not important for reasonable machines.  The embedded garbage
can define their own macros in a file in ports.

I'm going to apply the change without the bit in about 14 hours (when
I get back online) unless I read a rejection.  Mind you, rejection of
the move to AT_PLATFORM, not the booke stuff.
