I had initially converted a bunch of architectures to use the asm-generic files this way, but gave up after some of them turned out to be too much work to get in. Note that while you are addressing all the obvious candidates that have only a single #include statement in them, there is room to take this further because a lot of the other header files in architectures are still identical to their asm-generic counterparts (aside from whitespace and comments). I would recommend to arch maintainers that have not already done so to go through all the headers and replace the identical ones with generated headers that include the asm-generic version. Arnd
