I don't know what this means.  Every part of the dpdk that builds code depends
on the infrastructure in mk/ (save for the scripts below)

I suppose if you like, sure, though I would caution against moving them to mk/
as no one really expects executable scripts in the infrastructure makefile area.
If you want to move the buildtool scripts elsewhere I would suggest
buildtools/scripts.

Either way though, this movement seems to fall outside of the purview of the
purpose of the changeset associated with this email thread.
