Sorry for the late reply, but for my taste such board specific headers don't 
belong into the "common" include/asm-arch/arch-kirkwood directory. The 
original location in the board directory is the best place (IMHO).

I think the current code version is fine. We don't need to create an over-
complex API here.

Thanks.
