Why I did it
Backport [Mellanox] Add arch folder to SDK binary location #11278 to 202111 .
This is for the eventual support of multiple architectures for the mellanox platform.
How I did it
Change the location of the binaries in Switch-SDK-drivers so that the path specifies the target architecture in addition to the target distribution that the debians are built for.
This is the most straightforward way to separate binaries built against different architectures and selectively target them for installation in the mellanox SONiC image.
Build SONiC for mellanox and verify it compiles successfully.
