Well, it could be split as:

1. Rename include/math-emu to math-emu-old and update architectures for 
the renaming (mechanically).

2. Add new include/math-emu.

3,4,5,6,7. Move each architecture from math-emu-old to math-emu.

8. Remove math-emu-old.

You still have patch 1 affecting all five architectures, but with the 
per-architecture changes being much simpler.
