I think so. Sharing code among archs looks nice and this way is definitely
right. But starting with communication with PowerPC guys that this code I want
to use in case that this code is not in vanilla. This is not good start for
doing this.
I think if Microblaze will be in vanilla we can talked about separation MB and
PPC part to kernel folder and shared code move to shared folder.

Yes
