We support 370 and XP in this new mach directory, and we've chosen to
support them in an unique directory in order to easily validate the fact
that we are able to build and run a single binary kernel image that
works on both SoCs.

We are definitely open to suggestions regarding the naming of the
directory, or even combining with existing Marvell SoCs support if it
makes sense. What would be your suggestion on this?
