Typically that path consists of two directories such as mach-ip22 followed by mach-generic as last. This allows eleminating duplicated header files. A bad side effect - users frequently forget adding files such as cpu-features-override.h which contain a detailed description of the CPU properties on a particular platform. Without a platform specific file the kernel will basically fallback to generic code that is slow but supports almost every CPU in the universe. Ralf
