The code beneath the arch/ppc/5xxx_io/bestcomm directory is supplied
by Motorola.  To ease the adoption of later revisions of this code,
we made minimal modifications.  Stupidly, the bestcomm code references
stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, but doesn't use their contents, so we
added empty files with these names.

The Makefiles are also supplied by Motorola and are not used by Linux
at all.  We can safely omit them to reduce confusion.

IMHO, yes.
