This depends on the driver. If it's for example the ppc4xx ethernet driver it should be handled by the architecture custodian, but if it's the usb-ohci driver then it should be handled by the usb custodian. Most drivers will be handled (as they are right now) by the architecture custodian. But I see your point. By moving those cpu-specific files into the drivers directory, the architecture custodians need to maintain files distributed all over the drivers directory and not specifically in the cpu/xxx directory. I never thought of this before.
We have this situation in other places as well - for example, we mirror the whole directory structure in post/: post/ post/cpu/ post/cpu/mpc8xx/ ... post/board/ post/board/lwmon/ ... post/drivers/ ... post/lib_ppc/ ... I don't see how this could be avoided; the other optiuon would be to mirror .../devices/, .../post/ etc in the CPU and board and ... directories which would be worse.
