OK. what do we do?
option 1:
#include "..common/xyz.h"
141 something usage in board files do this for now..

option 2:
-I...common (auto generated - original patch)
#include "xyz.h"
we dont like that since it does not tell us that xyz.h is a
board-common header.

option 3:
#include <board-common/xyz.h>

this needs a soft link which we dont like either.

are there any other ways to do this?
