I'm still not decided, my main reason for following Blackfin and ARM
was that it seemed good to collect all mach-specific files in one place
in the tree.

However, keeping them in the same place makes it easy to grep through,
something I use quite frequently.


One thing that struck me just now is that the ARM and Blackfin
organization actually follows the way in how all header files have
been moved, i.e. that header files are being moved closer to the
source files that use them, in favor of collecting them all in one place...
