One possibility would be for us to split the board portions of vmlinux.its.S 
out into a file per-board, perhaps board-boston.its.S, board-ni169445.its.S 
etc. The build process would then have to concatenate the right files to 
generate the full image tree source.

Does that sound good to you?

Thanks,
    Paul
