First: I like a unified approach. I think that, when it makes sense, board
specifica should be in board specific files at one place. This doesn't
prevent copy&past, e.g. I can copy arch/arm/mach-pxa/accelent.c and paste
stuff into arch/arm/mach-pxa/ramses.c. It's actually easier now, because
there is only one place to look for board specifics.

For example, on linux-2.6 people are trying to have an almost #ifdef-less
drivers/video/pxafb.c and have all in arm/arm/mach-pxa/*.c files.


But just one note: you don't need CONFIG_MTD_JMR3927 if JMR3927 is your
board. At least not in arm/xscale kernels (not sure about other platforms).
You already have CONFIG_ARCH_<board>, e.g. I have CONFIG_ARCH_RAMSES. And I
can re-use this config var in drivers/mtd/maps.
