I think it would be better not to start with a 'platform' directory then:
Ideally you should be able to handle all systems with a single kernel, and
so far there is only one platform.

Just move the contents into an appropriate location, and at the point in the
distant future where you need multiple platforms, split out just the parts
that are different.

Also, my feeling is that we should not merge the platform code into mainline
until it has been converted to device tree based probing.

The platform_ops_t structure looks a bit out of place here. I'd recommend
starting without it and just calling the appropriate functions directly,
at least as long as there is only one version anyway.

The normal syntax for this is

obj-$(CONFIG_HEXAGON_ANGEL_TRAPS)	+= angel_misc.o angel_console.o
obj-$(CONFIG_HEXAGON_COMET)		+= sirc.o

Is this the same hardware as in arch/arm/mach-msm/sirc.c?
If so, better merge the drivers and put them into a common location.
There was some talk of starting a drivers/irqchip/ directory for interrupt
controller drivers that are not architecture specific.
