1. We're moving to a single zImage for everything.  Not just Broadcom.
There's no need for Broadcom stuff to be treated any differently.
Participate in the single zImage project and you will get that benefit
without these games.

2. "library" mach-* support code doesn't go into another mach-* directory.
That's why we have the plat-* stuff.  Please follow this well established
model.  plat-* directories are selected by CONFIG_PLAT_* symbols, so
you would need CONFIG_PLAT_BCM.

Please don't persue your own solutions to problems which were solved years
ago and have established solutions already in place.
