A common practice is to create a pseudo-arch directory, let's called it 'shared' or 'common' and under it a directory for each component that is shared. We can now have symbolic links for s shared file: arch/[mips|ppc]/pic.c -> arch/shared/pic-mippc.c
Or, for a shared subsystem 'pic1234' arch/[mips|ppc]/pic -> arch/shared/pic-mippc
One can even look at more similar archs and have arch/[mips|ppc]/pic -> arch/shared/mippc/pic arch/[mips|ppc]/mem -> arch/shared/mippc/mem
