I believe that the kernel's build system (before arch/ppc was removed
entirely) had some magic to include files from asm-powerpc if they
didn't exist in asm-ppc. So building your code with the kernel's build
system (and Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt explains how to do that
even without building in the kernel tree itself) should work.
For example, the reason include/asm-ppc/ppc_asm.h doesn't exist is
because of commit 5f7c6907, which moved the file to asm-powerpc.
