[PATCH 00/27] score arch files for linux

[liqin.chen]

Hi Arnd, Andrew Morton and linus,

According to your comment on score arch code, 
we update score code base on asm-generic#next repository.
use arch microblaze and blackfin as reference.

Best Regards

Some general notes about the patch submission, not the contents:
Your mail client still has a 'wordwrap' problem, which breaks
importing the patches into a repository. The easiest workaround
for this is to use 'git send-email', which handles it correctly.
Play around with the '--dry-run' and '--suppress-cc=all' options
at first to send the patches to yourself, so you know how it
works.

For 'git format-patch', please use the '-M -B --thread=shallow'
options so that all your mails end up nicely in a single mail
thread and renames are detected (the latter would not change
anything for your current set of patches, but may some day).

Ok, just finished looking over the patches and I am generally
very happy about their quality, it usually takes much longer
for a submission of this size to get into a mergeable shape.

The only thing that I think needs to be fixed before a
2.6.31 release is my comment about unistd.h still containing
the __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_* #defines. I consider that my fault
because I did not make it clear enough what those are meant
for in asm-generic/unistd.h.

One more general thought: I noticed that you split the header
files by alphabetical ordering. While there is no good way to
split a set of interdependent files, a logical grouping
(e.g. ABI, memory management, device, cpu) would be nice.

Everything else I found are only polite suggestions of what
can still be improved, not issues that I think need to
be addressed immediately. I especially love how the work
that Remis and I put into the generic header files starts
paying off, because it makes reviewing an architecture so
much simpler.

Please add my 'Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>'
to your patches.

Thanks,

	Arnd <><

Based on your comments, I use asm-generic/current.h, hardirq.h,
unaligned.h etc instead of files under arch/include/asm folder.
It could work in score code.
