I'd surely prefer hw/socs/ over hw/socks/ ;) but my point is why would
we want to mix arm and sh4 SoCs (with a clear dependency on $arch)
rather than putting them into hw/$arch proper.

As Paolo points out, this is (once again) discussing the strictness of
your sayings, in this case 'no devices in hw/$arch' (pseudo-quote).
