[PATCH 0/5] Architecture independence layer - v1

[PATCH 0/5] Architecture independence layer - v1

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi,
this is the first update for my architecture independence patches moving 
the version number to v1.
The updates from v0 to v1 are:
- use the already defined CONFIG_arch symbols instead of new ones
- the x86 arch portion is now in x86.[ch]
- added singed by / diffstat / inline patch ... statements
- The huge patch #3 is now split up logically into three smaller patches 
for a better readability. Unfortunately I was not able to get this 
automatically done/smaller by any git magic, so I splitted #3 by hand. 
The majority of changes just move function X from file A to file B and 
thereby cause big patches. I extracted those portion to #3 & #4 to make 
#5 smaller and readable, because thats where the real changes take place.

This is the new layout:
-> #1 is still just a renaming patch for better readability (_arch -> _x86)
-> #2 still contains the basic mechanism introducing filenames and the 
Kconfig/Make changes
-> #3 is now "split_generic_x86_move" and covers all the simple function 
movement deletions of generic code in kvm_main as well as some minor 
changes e.g. header includes
-> #4 is now "split_generic_x86_x86.c" and contains all the insertions 
of the arch code into x86.[ch]
-> #5 is now "split_generic_x86_change" and this is where all the major 
changes take place to implement arch independence (fortunally this is 
also the smallest patch)

Avi strongly recommended to wait for the merge of the lapic branch, so 
I'll keep this low prio the next time to rebase it when lapic is merged.
Comments are welcome, even while waiting for these merge ;-)
