Most architectures are easy to convert. But those that uses symlinks to select between different platforms etc needs a bit more care if we shall get rid of all symlinks.
Paul already fixed up sh and sent you a pull request. I have something ready for arm (not yet posted). And I sent Harvaard a small script that can fix avr32 when arm is done. cris looks similar and I can take care too.
The rest that does not use additiona symlinks are in general much simpler.
Kyle already fixed up parisc (simple). x86 is simple - only a small patch needed to arch/x86/Makefile. I have not dared looking at um.
But will you accept this stuff now or will we have to wait until next merge window? Now is a good time as development just started for next kernel. And testing is simple - does it build?
It will come in via arch maintainers but I will assist.
