It's a crusty, nasty, old codebase that we want to replace with the
newer and nicer arch/powerpc.

It's not a question of indivudual files being copied over - things are
done differently in arch/powerpc. Things are gradually being ported
over to arch/powerpc as people get the time - that's why arch/ppc
isn't gone yet. 440 support is now in arch/powerpc, but is not yet
complete: it works, but is missing some fairly important device
support (RTC and PCI are the most prominent).
