Clear OS / HAL separation

[M Ptich]

I am porting 2.6 kernel from Freescale onto our PPC platform. This is my 
first experience with Linux, and I was unpleasantly surprised how poorly OS 
and platform code are separated. So I have a question: is there a project 
underway, somewhere, that is trying to separate OS and HAL (or Board Support 
Package) for the next Linux kernel ?

Would highly appreciate any relevant pointers.
