I sort-of like it, but if it were up to me I would make one key change:
instead of sys/compat/linux with sys/i386/compat/linux, and sys/boot with
sys/i386/boot, I would put them together.. ie: sys/compat/linux with
sys/compat/linux/{i386,alpha,etc}. sys/boot and sys/boot/i386 stay
together.
Keeping them seperate is a recipe for one platform to fall behind the
"main" platform. For example, keeping sys/conf/* together instead of all
over the tree has practically stopped the Makefile and options/files lag on
non-i386 platforms.
I fear scattering stuff all over the tree would do similar things. It may
be more logical, but wont keep reminding people that whatever they do has
got cross platform implications.
Cheers,
-Peter
