As Dave Engebretsen stated it was originally done to "be consistent with
where the rest of the ppc64 /proc interfaces have been put".

Many of the ppc64-utils are currently expecting these interfaces in
/proc/ppc64/rtas.  It's would be nice not to break utilities when a
customer or user moves up to 2.6.

I have not looked, but what are the utilities in ppc32 that use
/proc/rtas?

I personally would rather stay compatible between releases then
architectures.

Thanks,
Jake
