socppc q: How big a challenge would it be to support QorIQ PPC CPU:s (used for instance in MicroTik RB1100AHx2 routerboard)?

Hi,
Just for me to get an idea, how complex would it be to support Freescale QorIQ such as the P2020 used in http://routerboard.com/RB1100AHx2 , or P4080 or P5020? 


These are the next version chip of what socppc supports already [1].


These chips are neat as they're fast, have ECC RAM and 3x PCI Express 
controllers. The P2020 costs ~~50-70 USD, P4080 ~~100-40 USD, and P5020 
~170-250 USD.


Thanks,
Tinker


[1] The current socppc [2] platform supports the MicroTik RouterBOARD 
RB600A which runs the Freescale PowerQUICC MPC8343,
and the (now discontinued?) Thecus N1200 which runs the Freescale 
PowerQUICC MPC8347.
The whole PowerQUICC series is being discontinued to be replaced by the 
QorIQ CPU:s [3].
