I think it's ok to keep mach-dove around for a longer time to keep the
board file, I'm way more interested in completing the multiplatform
work at last.

If I understand you right, being able to build mach-dove and mach-mvebu
together will actually help you remove one or more of your patches,
but of course will require a small bit of rebasing.
