I'd also suggest going against our current setup of not having "board/"
subdirectories in mach-*.  Just name them board-foo.c.

This is what we are currently doing for boards in the midst of DT
conversion.  In mach-kirkwood/ there is board-dt.c, and
board-dreamplug.c.  board-dt.c is the DT code, while board-dreamplug.c
is board specific init code that hasn't been converted to DT yet.  Once
converted, board-dreamplug.c will disappear.  This follows what tegra is
doing.

We can leave the legacy, unconverted boards where they are
(mach-kirkwood/guruplug-setup.c), but what about the common code they
depend on (mpp.c, pcie.c, etc)?  That's what I was suggesting putting in
mach-mvebu/board/...

I like the idea of leaving the *-setup.c board files where they are,
while moving all the other files (headers and the platform-wide .c
files) to mach-mvebu.

However, given that we still don't have consensus on where things
should really be and the merge window is already open, I would suggest
don't try to do it all now for v3.5 but rather plan it for v3.6 once
we agreed on one approach, and then do some of the next consolidation
steps as well.
