Some of them use pretty broken interfaces, and I don't think they should
be perpetuated. The biggest offender in my mind is
ppc64/rtas/rmo_buffer. It exports physical addresses so that they can
be mapped with /dev/mem. I think a more refined interface is
appropriate here.
As for the other things in that directory, could you do an ls on your
system and describe which ones you think need to be kept?
