And don't forget that the subsequent, follow-up patches
will be to _remove_ the 85xx family from arch/ppc as well.
The trick right now is simply to get it working in arch/powerpc
so that we can move forward there.  Worrying about absolute
cleanliness in arch/ppc for 85xx shouldn't, in my opinion,
be the highest concern.

Thanks,
