In that case, we need to do some cleanup first.  I've been lobbying for
the removal of the almost empty arch/parisc/real directory, and its few
remaining valid files moved to the kernel directory.  There are also a
fair number of dead files.  Every file that is not currently involved in
the build should be removed, unless a good case for it remaining can be
made.  If the reason to keep it is not a long term reason, then that file
should not be sent to Linus (It sounds like it is a lot easier to add
files rather than remove/rename them).

If there are any files that are currently in use, but which we know
will eventually be removed, perhaps we should consider what to do with
that file (although I don't know of any files in this category at the
moment).
