[PATCH 00/10] UAPI: Fixes

[David Howells]

Hi Linus,

Here are some UAPI fixes for you.  They can be found in git at:

	git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers.git

on the uapi-fixes branch at the uapi-fixes-20121017 tag.

They do a number of things:

 (1) Import a patch from Catalin Marinas to extend the generic-y in Kbuild
     facility to uapi directories.

 (2) Make arch/tile's ucontext.h file use (1) and remove the header-y line
     from the kernel internal side of things.

 (3) Remove some now-empty conditional bits from include/linux/Kbuild.  The
     contents got moved to the UAPI side of things along with new
     conditionals.

 (4) Deal with now-empty files:

     (a) Empty Kbuild files under include/ get removed.

     (b) Empty Kbuild files under arch/ get comments to hold them as they are
     	 likely to end up with generic-y or genhdr-y lines.  Deleting them
     	 appears to work if we want to go that route.

     (c) Put a comment into uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h to prevent the patch
     	 program from deleting that, and made the arches with empty kvm_para.h
     	 uapi files use that instead of having their own files.

     (d) Put comments into four other empty uapi/ headers to prevent the patch
     	 program from deleting them.

A question: Is this the right way to deal with the now-empty Kbuild files?

The ones under include/ are unlikely to be used - even for generated files, I
think - so getting rid of them is probably okay.  Once all the bits are in, we
can probably remove all the Kbuild files under include/ that aren't also under
include/uapi/.

The ones under arch/ are more of an issue because of the potential for
generic-y and genhdr-y.
