Hi David,

I'm planning to submit ARC Linux kernel port (from Synopsys) for review
on lkml and arch mailing lists. I already have a a 3.7-rc3 based kernel
(modulo the arch UAPI split). What would be the best way to get the UAPI
split done.

Can you point me to the latest scripts and the best way to use them (so
we have consistent automated split of headers). Otherwise if you like,
you could take a stab at it yourself via my tree at

git://github.com/organizations/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/linux.git
arc-3.7-rc3-newport

TIA,
-Vineet
