My personal preference would be to take it a step further and organize like:
/arch/$ARCH/ /lib/<sources currently in lib_$ARCH/> /include/asm/<headers currently in incluce/asm-$ARCH/> /cpu/<appropriate cpu directories in cpu/> /config.mk (old lib_$ARCH/config.mk)
/lib/ /<source files currently in lib_generic> /libfdt/ /lzma/ /lzo/
This layout would more closely match the Linux layout and is cleaner overall in my opinion. What do others think of this idea?
I generally agree with the idea, with the exception of /include/asm/<headers> - I really hate this change in the Linux kernel, and still fail to see any advantages of this.
I really like only having one subtree to grep for arch stuff, and it would avoid presenting files that are in git, under a path that git doesn't know about.
Plus, the symlink is one less thing that the makefiles would need to keep in sync when arch changes.
