People just kept adding to the ubnt mach file because there was
something there already (and there was some code sharing too), whereas
other devices were usually kept separate anyway.
I'd like to make sure that all future devices get their own mach files,
since that's easier to maintain.
At some point, all of this mess is going away anyway when we get proper
device tree support.
