Nice!

As you're adding infrastructure and a first user, I think this should
be split in two patches:
  - Introduction of drivers/staging/board infrastructure,
  - Addition of kzm9d board support.

No board-specific Kconfig symbols, so the actual individual board
support itself is
always compiled-in (but see below)?

Ah, it's included in all shmobile multi-platform kernels.

What about testing for CONFIG_ARCH_EMEV2 instead of
CONFIG_ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI?
Or adding a KZM9D-specific Kconfig symbol to .../board/Kconfig?
