What do we really need to do before the move?  Should all arch dts files
be able to #include from any arch?  What's the minimum churn needed to
accomplish that?  Maybe just move the needed bits to arch/dts/include/ ?

I'm not real keen on separating by vendor.  For example, us mvebu folks
would probably miss useful/duplicated effort in another vendor's
subdirectory.  Which was the whole reason for moving driver code out of
machine directories to begin with.

thx,

Jason.
