FSL vs. IBM BookE

Out of curiosity... I noticed we have both head_44x.S and
head_fsl_booke.S, the later being a fork of the former with changed from
Kumar (and possibly others) to support E200 and E500.
How bad are the differences between those cores ? Would it be possible
to reconcile those and IBM 44x into a single processor family ? Or are
there some fundamental differences making that impossible ? (even with a
bit of CPU feature patching).
Also, I suppose we should rename head_4xx.S to head_40x.S no ?
Cheers,
Ben.
