I think it's ok to keep mach-dove around for a longer time to keep the board file, I'm way more interested in completing the multiplatform work at last. If I understand you right, being able to build mach-dove and mach-mvebu together will actually help you remove one or more of your patches, but of course will require a small bit of rebasing.
