Linus hinted that he liked to have all arch specific
header files moved from include/asm-$ARCH to
arch/$ARCH/include/asm.
The following two patches implement the basic support
for this.
I have used sparc for my testing and to some degree
I also used i386.
For sparc I just had to do a simple:
mkdir -p arch/sparc/include/asm
mv include/asm-sparc/* arch/sparc/include/asm
to build sparc with the new directory layout.
For i386 I had to do a few trivial path fixes in
arch/x86/Makefile and to fix the include of unistd_32.h
in one place to fix the build.
I expect a few additional bits to show up when people
start to move their header files but this should
be a good starting point.
To support arch/$ARCH/include/ was done in two steps.
First was to teach make headers_* about the new layout.
And second step was to get the build fixed with the new
layout.
Patches are on top of kbuild-next.git and follows.
