Adding a /sys/powerpc64/conf makes all kinds of things harder, since it 
implies MACHINE=powerpc64. You then have to duplicate all the stuff in 
/sys/conf, special-case things in /sys/boot, add tons of stub headers, 
etc., etc. I had this while developing, and it was much worse to deal 
with than the current setup -- and while developing, I could use 
symlinks in the tree.

A NOTES64, or conditional logic in config(8), are better solutions, I think.
