I do not need a 3-deep hierarchy, I need a 2-deep hierarchy for IPROC 
and CYGNUS (and future SoCs that have IPROC Architecture in common).  I 
can move IPROC out of the mach-bcm directory if you like a create a new 
directory?  But it looks like the purpose of mach-bcm is to consolidate 
all Broadcom chipsets in it?
