For arm the actual diff is:
 Makefile                 |   20 +++++++-------------
 boot/compressed/Makefile |    3 ---
 tools/Makefile           |    1 +
 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)

But on top of this there are ~600 files that needed a
replacement of:
#include <asm/arch/foo.h>
to
#include <arch/foo.h>

So maybe not such a minimal patch - because I wanted to drop all
the symlink stuff.

um i never trivial :-(
But I will give it a try - but I have to sleep first.
