Subject: kill include symlinks for sh?

Hi Paul.

Now that kbuild has proper support for
include/$ARCH/* maybe this is a good time
to kill the use of symlinks for sh?

The idea is to do the following:
1) move all cpu specific directories to:
   arch/sh/include/$CPU/cpu

   then we can continue to use "#include <cpu/foo.h>" if
   we just tell gcc to pick up include
   files in the correct directory.

2) move all mach specific directories to:
   arch/sh/$ARCH/mach

   then we can continue to use "#include <mach/foo.h>
   But this does NOT address the mach's that relied on
   the mach symlink that pointed one level below.
   I do not know how big his issue is.

3) move remaining header files to
   arch/sh/include/asm

4) adjust arch/sh/Makefile

   Test and enjoy....

I do not have sh toolchina on this box so I have
not tried to do a full patch myself. And the mach stuff
obviously worries me with the link to the parent directory.

But apart form this is is simple. See below for my take on it.
You can put an
Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org>
or
Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org>

as you like on the final patch.

Questions / comments are welcome.

PS. sparc is the first to use arch/$ARCH/include and will
hit -linus soon,

To complete step 1) to 3) the following script can
be used:
# CPU dirs
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/cpu-sh2/cpu
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/cpu-sh2a/cpu
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/cpu-sh3/cpu
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/cpu-sh4/cpu
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/cpu-sh5/cpu

git mv include/asm-sh/cpu-sh2 arch/sh/include/cpu-sh2/cpu
git mv include/asm-sh/cpu-sh2a arch/sh/include/cpu-sh2a/cpu
git mv include/asm-sh/cpu-sh3 arch/sh/include/cpu-sh3/cpu
git mv include/asm-sh/cpu-sh4 arch/sh/include/cpu-sh4/cpu
git mv include/asm-sh/cpu-sh5 arch/sh/include/cpu-sh5/cpu

# mach dirs
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/dreamcast/mach
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/landisk/mach
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/hd64465/mach
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/sh03/mach

git mv include/asm-sh/dreamcast arch/sh/include/dreamcast/mach
git mv include/asm-sh/landisk arch/sh/include/landisk/mach
git mv include/asm-sh/hd64465 arch/sh/include/hd64465/mach
git mv include/asm-sh/sh03 arch/sh/include/sh03/mach

# asm-sh header files
mkdir -p arch/sh/include/asm
git mv include/asm-sh arch/sh/include/asm

Step 4) is the following patch:
