   ARM Linux maintainer doesn't want extra directories, people want
them. I believe Matt meant that we'll have to do that eventually, for
example when we start to submit actual machines mainline, and we can
do that on machine by machine basis.

   In the meantime subdirs structure clearly useful, so we can keep
using it for both old and new ports, IMHO.
