Hi Linus.
Please pull the 'enable "make ARCH=x86"' patchset.
Pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/x86.git
As per feedback from Thomas Gleixner:

The announcement mail to lkml is below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This revised patchset does the followings things:
o unify the i386 and x86_64 Kconfig files o introduce support for K64BIT to set CONFIG_64BIT on command line o introdue support for "make ARCH=x86" o degraded ARCH={i386,x86_64} to select between 32/64 for all*targets and otherwise just selecting the x86 architecture
I suggest we should merge this despite being at -rc2 so we can start teaching distributors to use "ARCH=x86" - but I leave it to the x86 Maintainers to decide.
I have always thought that the x86 merge could not be considered ready until we could do a "make ARCH=x86" becasue it is so intuitive if you have not typed "make ARCH=i386" one thousand times.
Based on feedback from previous submissions the following have changed: - The backwards compatibility links are kept - The backwards compatibility ARCH={i386,x86_64} are kept but degraded to select 32/64 bit during configuration for all*config targets. - ARCH={i386,x86_64} are not broken by any patches so bisect will not choke - patchset shrinked to 13 logical patches
With this change we have a setup where we have a common Kconfig for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 like all other architectures. And we can configure and build a kernel using ARCH="name of arch dir"
As an added bonus "make update-po-config" is fixed :-)
The diffstat tells it own story: 19 files changed, 684 insertions(+), 1235 deletions(-)
And this is with new functionality added...
The patches explained...
Unification of Kconfig.i386 + Kconfig.x86_64: x86: unification of cfufreq/Kconfig x86: start unification of arch/x86/Kconfig.* x86: arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu unification x86: add X86_32 dependency to i386 specific symbols in Kconfig.i386 x86: add X86_64 dependency to x86_64 specific symbols in Kconfig.x86_64 x86: copy x86_64 specific Kconfig symbols to Kconfig.i386 x86: move all simple arch settings to Kconfig x86: move the rest of the menu's to Kconfig
Adding support for K64BIT=y on commandline kconfig: factor out code in confdata.c kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets
Preparational patch that just clean up a few bits in x86: x86: do not use $(ARCH) when not needed
Introducing "make ARCH=x86" x86: enable "make ARCH=x86"
After the preparation then introducing "make ARCH=x86" actually deleted more lines than is added (last patch): 5 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-)
The patchset is available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/x86.git
Patches will be sent to lkml for another review round.
