It is:
include/asm-[xxx] arch/[xxx]
There are problems with seperating drivers apart. We dont want to split the master tar file as we often need to see changes for other ports to avoid accidents, or to change all ports for a new function parameter. Nobody stops end users getting a full tree and splitting copies out for friends or for ftp.
