Thanks again for the review Al.

Sure, I can do that - however because those patches have bits in arch/arc/Kconfig,
I'll have to move the Build system patch towards start of series, or simply chop
off Kconfig bits out of those and add them later - what do you prefer ?

My only reason for chunking those up was to capture the intermediate development
of how execve and friends were generalized (and have limited revision history even
in initial upstream version). While I was used to the old code, specially
copy_thread() between 1st and last change seemed to be almost rewritten. Having
said that, I don't have strong opinion either ways.

Thx,
