AFIAK, the way you are using USE_INIT is totally different from what
Greg is doing on PPC. I am not an expert on this issue but I believe
the only common thing in these two is the same macro name. Greg, can
you have some comment on this?

Both CONFIG_USE_INIT and USE_DCACHE_RAM were added by me for PPC support. I don't mind you using them for x86 CAR as long as they remain available for PPC. I would prefer if you didn't change the default options.

CONFIG_USE_INIT has nothing to do with CAR. It's to include certain files that are needed for the PPC initialization process, but that are not supported in x86.

USE_DCACHE_RAM enables CAR for those boards that support it. Some, like the 970, already have ram enabled when they start so don't need CAR support.
