Sometimes there are multiple people working on the same patch,
and I don't see anyway for the SOB process to address this correctly
since the author could be _only_ one and the SOB list respresents
a patch passing route. So basically I don't care too much about
SOB by multiple people yet not strictly conform to the patch forwarding
route.

I'm only concerned that mach-pxa/* is already very crowded, I'm
even thinkin of merging all those eseries things in a single file.

The real difficulty with ezx is that they share many things, and the
sharing sometimes is not just common, it can be shared by some
of the platforms but not all - even if one eventually separates them
into different files, there still needs to be a lot #ifdef .. #endif.

Since these #ifdef .. #endif are actually inclusive, and can even
be removed if no one cares about the size compiling all the
platforms together, I don't see them as big problems.
