Actually this is mostly why I am looking for a change.
Though not specifically for the AMD stuff.
As we get multiple architectures
cpu/alpha will be much different from cpu/x86 assuming,
but a cpu/alpha/ev6 will be virtually identical to a
cpu/alpha/ev67.
So adding an extra layer (and perhaps flatting a layer) makes
sense at the cpu level.
