The only reason for having include/asm-ppc/platforms under
include/asm-ppc is so that serial.h can include the right
blah_serial.h file.  We can get around that by using
early_serial_setup except that that doesn't work if the serial driver
is built as a module.  The boot stuff also needs to get at the first
serial port but we can manage that by requiring the platform.h file to
define e.g. BOOT_SERIAL_ADDRESS, BOOT_SERIAL_REG_SHIFT, etc., if it
wants to use a serial port in the boot wrapper.  The boot wrapper code
then just does #include <platform.h>.

What would <asm/serial.h> contain here?  Keep in mind that some ports
'just work' with the default <asm/serial.h>.

Alternatively we can add a -Iarch/$(ARCH) flag for cc and put
platform.h in arch/ppc and the platform headers in
arch/ppc/platforms.  This is Keith's preferred solution and it feels
right to me too.

This would probably be better.
