Good point! arch/arm/mach-davinci/aemif.c should be moved to drivers/
Because AEMIF is present on C6x and OMAP architectures as well and
not limited to DaVinci.

I am not sure if there are any existing "memory interface" drivers.
Moving to drivers/misc/ may be a good point to start.

Making AEMIF a new bus type is an interesting idea as well.

Thanks,
Sekhar
