For now, I'd suggest you don't try too hard to make this work for the
a combination of the mvebu platforms. There has been some discussion
about a solution that will work across multiple platform directories.
While that might take a little longer, I assume that we will find some
way to do it, so let's first unify all the other header files within
mvebu.
