Re: [PATCH] get rid of the last symlink in uml build

BTW, after taking a look at the remaing asm-*...

* frv, m32r and h8300 should be as trivial as git mv
* m68k has a bit of extra PITA - we need to clean up two non-trivial
includes from m68knommu (pci.h and setup.h) first, then it's a matter
of git mv, adding arch/m68k/include to search path on m68knommu and
removal of dummy headers from the latter.
* xtensa is already moved in linux-next
* arm seems to be lacking the final push for few remaining headers; presumably
will happen eventually
* mn10300 is playing with symlinks - the last one to do that for headers,
AFAICS.

I've thrown together a patch series on top of linux-next doing m68k and
mn10300. *WARNING* - it's completely untested, basically about half an
hour diversion from sifting through the mailbox for missed VFS patches.
And that half and hour did *not* include anything resembling building
the resulting tree. So take that with a trainload of salt.

Patches (in mbox format; easier to deal with for massive moves) follow.
Have fun. If that actually works and if frv/m32r/h8300 are as trivial
as they seem to be, we should be able to get it down to include/asm-arm
remnants and nothing else.

Al, disappearing back into the VFS slush pile...
