Yeah, when you have a device that's both "type X" and "architecture Y" you can't put it both in hw/Y and hw/X, and the choice we've made is that hw/$ARCH is for: * board models * SoC container objects which just instantiate other devices and "leaf" devices go under the relevand hw/$CATEGORY (which may be hw/misc if nothing more appropriate exists). It's a little bit arbitrary, but it follows a similar practice in the Linux kernel source tree layout. thanks -- PMM
