I don't think this is the right place to fix it (at least, it should be
near the .PHONY target with an explanation why it is needed). First, the
PHONY variable is usually assigned right before the target is defined.
Second, the are usually two 'install' targets: One is in
arch/$arch/Makefile, which usually invokes scripts/Makefile.build in
arch/$arch/boot, where the actual install target is defined. So this
patch only covers the arch/$arch/boot/Makefile case. It works on x86,
because arch/x86/Makefile already has the PHONY assignment and only
arch/x86/boot/Makefile is missing it. Also, not all architectures have
install, while some have more *install variants. So I'm for fixing the
Makefiles that do not yet have the PHONY += install or such.
