| |
Something which came up in one of the hallway discussions at the kernelsummit was that a lot of the architecture maintainers would find it more convenient if the arch-specific header files were moved from include/asm-$ARCH to arch/$ARCH/include. Since we use a symlink _anyway_, no global changes to include statements are necessary, we'd merely need to change Makefile from
symlinks: rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-$(ARCH) asm)
to
symlinks: rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf ../arch/$(ARCH)/include asm)
Would anyone have a problem with this change? It'll make for a hell of a big patch from Linus, but it really will simplify the lives of the architecture maintainers.
