So where are we now? alpha Not done - but trivial (I have tested it) blackfin Not done - uses symlinks h8300 Not done - but looks trivial m32r Not done - looks trivial mips Not done - but I think it is prepared powerpc Done sparc Done x86 Not done - assume planned at end of next merge window arm Almost done - three plat-* directories needs to be moved cris Not done - uses symlinks ia64 Done m68k Not done - may be combined with merging headers for m68knommu mn10300 Not done - uses symlinks s390 Done sparc64 Done xtensa Not done - uses symlinks avr32 Done frv Not done - looks trivial m68knommu Done parisc Not done - but patches are prepared sh Done um Not done - uses symlinks
So 8 out of 22 so far.
That is pretty good as we only started this at the end of the merge window. And of these sh, arm, avr have restructured to avoid symlinks so it was not that simple.
And we have at six architectures where a simple: mkdir -p arch/$ARCH/include/asm git mv include/asm-$ARCH/* arch/$ARCH/include/asm
looks like the only effort needed {alpha, h8300, m32r, mips frv, parisc}.
