Why keep the SUPERH32 symbol?
Because you forgot to clean a few files?

    arch/sh/include/asm/bl_bit.h:#ifdef CONFIG_SUPERH32

Unrelated change, but I guess it doesn't hurt ;-)

You might remove the empty definition, too, as you removed the sole user...

I think at least some of the following should be cleant, too:

arch/sh/include/asm/elf.h:#ifdef __SH5__
arch/sh/include/uapi/asm/posix_types.h:# ifdef __SH5__
arch/sh/include/uapi/asm/swab.h:#ifdef __SH5__
arch/sh/include/uapi/asm/swab.h:#ifdef __SH5__
arch/sh/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:# ifdef __SH5__
tools/arch/sh/include/asm/barrier.h:#if defined(__SH4A__) || defined(__SH5__)

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
