Yes, and there is already include/linux/mv643xx.h that has a bunch of 
64340 definitions which share offset with the 64360 (and some with the 
64260).  However, to be correct, there needs to be a lot of munging.  
mv643xx.h should be renamed to mv64xxx.h and all of the MV64340 macros 
need to be renamed as well.  This ripples into the mips code which I 
didn't want to battle with right now.  I would prefer that this patch go 
in and then submit a separate patch that fixes and combines the hdr 
files & macros they contain.  Doing it that way, there is one patch for 
the ppc bridge support and one patch for the hdr file clean up.  That's 
cleaner than mixing the two (IMHO).  It is on the todo list.
