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.
