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.

Maybe I'm wrong, and it's all trivial). um i never trivial :-( But I will give it a try - but I have to sleep first.
