Since you are  cleaning this up already, could you please merge these
patches into your series:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/11/291

The first patch adds support for generic-y in the new
arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild file, followed by few patches to
convert three architectures. There will probably be more to convert
after -rc1.

Thanks.
