I like the idea of leaving the *-setup.c board files where they are,
while moving all the other files (headers and the platform-wide .c
files) to mach-mvebu.

However, given that we still don't have consensus on where things
should really be and the merge window is already open, I would suggest
don't try to do it all now for v3.5 but rather plan it for v3.6 once
we agreed on one approach, and then do some of the next consolidation
steps as well.
