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}.
