Well, I do care, because we should be aiming for some consistency
across architectures, whether we do that by moving more files
into hw/$arch/ or by moving the handful of files and random
Makefile.objs out of hw/$arch/...

If we have some consensus on moving things into hw/$arch that's
fine and we can move the arm stuff in 1.5 sometime I guess.
