I really like this hook present. It helps a lot in our downstream BSP where
we combine the common features used for Nvidia Tegra and NXP based computer
modules.

We for instance build a non SPL U-Boot in addition usable for recovery mode.

Also as Stefan mentions combining a module with a different carrier board
often only requires a new device-tree file.

Both are really machine and not distro related, so they logically belong to
the machine configuration.
