Indeed -- I have a hw/kvm/arm_gic.c in the qemu-linaro tree, so
if you break building that I'll have to unbreak it :-)

(Does architecture-specific separation make much sense in general?
Not all devices are architecture-specific. I'd have thought that
a functional split eg timer/serial/usb like the linux kernel layout
would be better.)
