Both parisc and arc are already in my tree; do you really want the
autogenerated patch to be there as well?  Would be a recurring headache
through the cycle - anyone adding an include of that sucker in their
branch would have to do an explicit merge from that branch first, or
deal with the silent conflicts on merge to -next (well, silent as in
"git doesn't warn you"; build breakage will be there).

I suppose I could do that autogenerated commit + replacement of
asm-generic/unaligned.h with #include <linux/unaligned.h>,
then take the newly added includes of <asm{,-generic}/unaligned.h> after -rc1,
with asm-generic/unaligned.h taken out once all strays are gone, but that
feels too convoluted...

Or am I misparsing you?
