In each case, you put the bb_miiphy_init() right before 
eth_initialize().  One of the first things eth_initialize() does is call 
board_eth_init().  Moving the call to each board's specific code would 
therefore not make any difference code-wise, but IMHO is architecturally 
cleaner.  If #ifdef's are necessary (in this case they are), I believe 
it's better to have them in the more specific code (board) than generic 
(arch).

regards,
Ben
