We can discuss variations on this theme, for example we could possibly
move platforms/iSeries* to iSeries/, since it already has its own
directory.  As the number of platforms grows, we can consider moving
other groups of platforms into their own directories as well.

Sounds great to me.  I'd like to fold a number of embedded 7xx/74xx
system files into directories by their manufacturer names.

arch/ppc/kernel/platforms/Motorola/
					sandpoint_*
					mvme5100_*
					mcp765_*
					etc.
arch/ppc/kernel/platforms/Force/
					pcore_*
					powerpmc_*
					etc.

arch/ppc/kernel/platforms/xyz/
...

The next step (since we've all been working away at abstracting
our common interfaces) is to collapse the *_[setup|pci].c files
in a single file to further reduce clutter on those systems for
which it makes practical sense.  Again, that's most of our
embedded 7xx/74xx/8240 ports.
