I took the "trivially obvious" parts of this patch series - the ones that 
were basically trivial one-liner cleanups (in addition to the first patch 
that was needed for them, of course).

Anything that renamed files and did other infrastructure things (x86) or 
that had vmlinux.lds.S files that didn't match the nice pattern I'd much 
rather take as series of patches that first clean up the infrastructure 
and then do the replacement.
