Hence we need

    mach/amiga (m68k and PPC)
    mach/mac (m68k and PPC)
    mach/sun (SPARC and SPARC64)
    mach/pc (all legacy stuff)
    ...

PowerMac, CHRP and Mac.

Hence we need

    drivers/adb
    drivers/usb
    ...
    bus/pci
    bus/zorro
    bus/isa
    bus/dio
    bus/nubus
    bus/sbus
    bus/mbus
    bus/eisa
    bus/mca
    ...

Lot's of clean ups for 2.3.x ;-)
