If devices only work on riscv, they should IMHO stay in hw/riscv/. I
think hw/gpio/ and friends should primarily be used if a device is
shared between architectures. If they stay in hw/riscv/ it is way easier
to match the devices with wildcards in the MAINTAINERS file. Just my
0.02 € only, of course.
