Board files in mach-mvebu and the rest in plat-mvebu.  That would match 
the spirit of the current split between mach-* and plat-*.
Took the words right out of my mouth.  Once DT conversions are complete,
mach-*/ would either go away, or hold legacy non-DT boards.

On a side note, I also like this because it would make converting old
board files like sheevaplug and guruplug to DT easier.  The legacy
implementation would be in mach-mvebu/ and the DT implementation would
be in plat-mvebu/.  Newcomers to the code would see a clearly defined
separation.
With that layout, where do the mach/* headers go?
I think arch/arm/plat-mvvebu/include/mach/* could work.
And try to avoid putting anything in the include/mach/ directory which
isn't needed by any code outside of arch/arm/{plat,mach}-* directory.

In other words, headers needed only for code in arch/arm/plat-mvvebu/
should be in that very same directory.
