Basically what is requested is to move the generic parts of asm-offsets generation from top-level Kbuild file to a generic file somewhere. Since this is not generic Kbuild functionality but more specific to the kernel it should not be part of Kbuild generic files. include/asm-generic/asm-offsets seems to be a fair place for it. It would contain the sed-y parts as well as cmd_offsets definition. I would be glad if you could give that a spin. Sam
