Not with any one in particular, although there are a lot of similarities between
recent Cortex-A9 based designs. I just think it would be more logical to put the
files into a new mach-emma directory in the same way that every other family has
its own directory.

As I said, I don't mind if you share infrastructure with mach-shmobile, like
using the same mach/*.h header files, but if you end up sharing actual code,
it would be nicer to put it into some location where it can also be shared by
other platforms.
