Absolutely agreed.

Some architectures (eg, ARM) have quite a large headache to solve with
these changes.

Currently, I know Linus' tree builds fine for most ARM platforms (thanks
to the ARM kautobuild project.)  However, I'm seeing unexpected build
failures that don't make sense from the linux-next project.

I've just wound my tree back to a "pristine" state for linux-next, and
plan to wait for its next build to check whether its me or something else
causing it.  What I'm referring to is:

s3c2410_defconfig's showing:
include/asm/arch/map.h:16:30: error: asm/plat-s3c/map.h: No such file or directory

which, if its including it via include/ shouldn't be happening because
plat-s3c hasn't moved from include/asm(-arm)/, the same as
include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410 hasn't moved in linux-next yet.
