i agree. We've recently factored out quite a bit of common code between i386 and x86_64 recently: genirq, gtod/clocksource and clockevents.
and that's how i think unification of architectures should be done: move code into kernel/* and drivers/*, _not_ into another architecture. That way all architectures benefit.
