I'm not exactly clear on what you are talking about.  There is this 
snippet in fs/proc/proc_misc.c:

#ifdef CONFIG_PPC32
         {
                 extern struct file_operations ppc_htab_operations;
                 entry = create_proc_entry("ppc_htab", S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR, 
NULL);
                 if (entry)
                         entry->proc_fops = &ppc_htab_operations;
         }
#endif

Are you suggesting this should live elsewhere?  I'm not that familiar 
with proc code.
