You get a *lot* of boards in board/
Good for computers, not for humans.
Having arch/arm/board would add some minor convenioence,
but not much so.

It would be more useful to collect all boards
using one specific chip in a single directory.
arch/arm/<chip>/board.

If you could build several boards in one tree, then
it makes sense to have it in a subdirectory,
but for once I agree with Wolfgang :-)
