Well, I posted a first patch that removes _machine and makes the
platform "probe" closer between 32 and 64 bits already a few weeks ago
before I went on vacation... I'll revive that patch today or tomorrow
and have it merged in powerpc.git. At which point, I'll tackle in no
specific order, removing of pre-parsed interrupt stuff in device_node
(and implement a proper generic OF interrupt tree parser), making the
early init code between 32 and 64 bits even more similar (si discussion
about boot code I posted a month or two ago), etc...

I'm sorry I can't promise any timeframe at this point though due to
personal constraints (just had a baby).

Ben.
