I think this is a good idea.  The name you've suggested is okay with
me also.

As I suggested to Jimi a few days ago, I'd like to eventually see the
generic PPC code moved to its own file.  The remainder of
rs6000-tdep.c would then be AIX specific and this file could be
renamed to ppc-aix-tdep.c.

In "outline" form, this is what I'd eventually like to see:

    Generic PPC ISA:
	ppc-tdep.c	- replaces rs6000-tdep.c for generic bits
    
    ABI specific:
	ppc-sysv-tdep.c
	ppc-po-tdep.c	- PowerOpen ABI specific bits; some of rs6000-tdep.c
                          is moved here.

    OS specific:
	ppc-aix-tdep.c
	ppc-linux-tdep.c
	ppcnbsd-tdep.c	- I prefer ppc-nbsd-tdep.c though

    Native support:
	ppc-aix-nat.c	- renamed from rs6000-nat.c
	ppc-linux-nat.c
	ppcnbsd-nat.c	- I prefer ppc-nbsd-nat.c though
