Have a look at this and see if it seems OK to you. It collapses the soc,
tsi-bridge, opb and localbus code blocks into one.  The patch is layered
on my previous patch that did the for_each cleanup on the np's but if folks
are OK with the general implementation, I'll spin an equivalent patch
for direct application to the origin/for-2.6.25 branch with signed off etc.

Thanks,
Paul.
