: arch/$MACHINE_ARCH/conf/files.$MACHINE_ARCH instead of the

...
Note that src/sys/cpu is not for $MACHINE_ARCH. We don't yet have a
variable, macro, or constant that reflects the goal of src/sys/cpu.
For instance, src/sys/cpu/mips under the new layout would apply to both
mipseb and mipsel systems.
