The idea is to organize the board by cpu's arch like it's done in the kernel
tree.
Actually all boards are stored directly in "board" and the lib-'arch' in the
"srctree", to simplify the splitting in the kconfig menu.
And although regroup the common arch's code.

The problem is when you work on multiple architecture & board.
But it's most cosmetic.

It's not in the board directory, it's in the arch directory.

As example when you specify your architecture by ARCH=arm
And do a make help only the sh default configuration can be accessible and
show.
