The make rules I sent to Paul automatically generate platform.h and
platform_serial.h by copying the platform specific files to arch/ppc
under standard names.  If the platform has no *_serial.h file then
platform_serial.h is a zero length file.  So ppc code can always

#include <platform.h>
#include <platform_serial.h>

without #ifdef in the main code.
