why is ppc/arm/i386/m68k special ? seems like it'd make more sense to either have one patch for every arch or squash them altogether. a squash here sounds ok to me.
I originally didn't squash them all together because of the 100KB mailing list limit. It looked like I'd need to only use 1 line of patch context to get the lib_<arch> changes to be < 100KB, so I split them up instead.
I originally was going to do each arch independently, but realized there was no real significant change for avr32, blackfin, mips, nios, nios2, and sparc so I squashed them together.
since it's pretty much all renames, i would have thought git-format-patch with the -M option would produce a summary that is under 100kB ?
Anyway, that's the logic, I can resubmit if necessary. Or the arch changes can be squashed together by whoever pushes the changes to get around the mailing list limit.
