If you want to do it, do it the right way. See #x86_merge in > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/um-header.git/ FWIW, the next step (still not pushed there) is to move arch/um/sys-x86 to arch/x86/um, with arch/um/os-Linux/sys-x86 becoming arch/x86/um/os-Linux, Kconfig.x86 moving to arch/x86/um/Kconfig and Makefile-x86 - to arch/x86/um/Makefile.defs. Next after that - arch/powerpc/um (and yes, it means resurrected uml/ppc port; for now - only ppc32, since I have no ppc64 boxen to test on). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
