Yeah.... I'm increasingly tempted to merge ppc32/ppc64 into one arch
like mips/parisc/s390. Or would that get vetoed on the basis that we
don't have all that horrid non-OF platform support in ppc64 yet, and
we're still kidding ourselves that all those embedded vendors will
either not notice ppc64 or will use OF?

I'm going to insist that every new ppc64 platform supplies a device
tree.  They don't have to have OF but they do need to have the booter
or wrapper supply a flattened device tree (which is just a few kB of
binary data as far as the booter/wrapper is concerned).  It doesn't
have to include all the 

*shurg*
It really is a great idea, but I think it will just move the ire from
(serial infos, IRQ table, ?) being in platforms/fooboard.[ch] to
platforms/fooboard.h or platforms/fooboard_bootinfos.h

So lets just hope ppc64 keeps getting ignored :)
