[POWERPC] Schedule removal of arch/ppc
The arch/ppc tree has been in a semi-nebulous "bug fix only" state for a few kernel releases now. The patch below officially declares this as of the 2.6.22 kernel release and schedules arch/ppc for removal in June of 2008.

---------------------------
+What: The arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc directories
+When: Jun 2008
+Why: The arch/powerpc tree is the merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64
+ platforms. Currently there are efforts underway to port the remaining
+ arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree. New submissions to the arch/ppc
+ tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will
+ remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal. Platforms
+ that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an
+ interested maintainer.
