Any while we're at it it probably shouldn't be it's own directory
under platforms, as platforms/cell contains a lot of generic cell
stuff.  We should rather have platforms/cell for all cell stuff
and then sub-platform prefixed bits.  Especially as e.g. the cpbw and
native cell port will probably share a lot of code.
