yes, these files are defived from PPC version. Yes, I added them to generic
location and in this version are in arch folder. It is easier for me to have
them in arch folder till Microblaze will be in linus tree.
And then create patch which will synchronize them.

I prefer to have this code in generic location as much as possible but first
stage from my perspective should be add microblaze code to tree and then add it
to generic location and remove it from all archs which use it.

Thanks,
Michal
