So you are proposing to introduce these directories:
arch/arm/boards/qemu-virt64/
arch/arm/mach-qemu/
I propose to use 'arch/arm/mach-qemu-virt' for machine dir,
because qemu supports several arm-based machines, not only the virt machine.
On the other hand the 'mach-qemu-virt' name is too long
and 'mach-qemu' may be is a better solution.
