If you look at:

	http://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers.git/shortlog/refs/tags/disintegrate-arc-20121108

You'll find a branch with a patch that does the UAPI disintegration for you as
one piece.  I've merged your branch onto Linus's latest before doing the
disintegration.  If you'd prefer it directly on your branch, that should be
possible too.
