Hi Sam, Looks much cleaner to me now, but I still don't see why we even need the new generic-export-y variable in addition to export-y. Can't we just simply install all $(filter-out, $(generated-y), $(header-y)) from arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm and all $(filter, $(generated-y), $(header-y)) from rch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/asm? I think that would lead to a less confusing set of rules.

Instead, we could either generate these headers from new generic versions of them, or just put the header-y+= into arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild where it belonged in the first place. The Kbuild.asm file was initially meant to list the files that are exported from every architecture, so we could see the exact differences in each architecture from its asm/Kbuild file.
