I remember I made an attempt doing so long time ago for the asm symlink. But why it failed for me I dunno. We used this trick in many archs before but as part of the header move to arch/$ARCH we have killed almost all uses of symlink to reach certain files. The asm symlink is only used by asm-offsett.h for most archs these days and when I get around to it I will fix that too so we can kill it entirely. But first we need to move all archs headers to arch/$ARCH. And we are getting there.
