For arm the actual diff is:
Makefile | 20 +++++++-------------
boot/compressed/Makefile | 3 ---
tools/Makefile | 1 +
3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)
But on top of this there are ~600 files that needed a
replacement of:
#include <asm/arch/foo.h>
to
#include <arch/foo.h>
So maybe not such a minimal patch - because I wanted to drop all
the symlink stuff.

um i never trivial :-(
But I will give it a try - but I have to sleep first.
