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).
