I'm the one who actually added it way back in
a0674e88d9c150e016a69e78e735f48772314c53 and to be honest I don't use it
anymore since I've changed jobs and only really do x86 now...

I can't say if anyone else is using it though.

I tested your second patch from the subsequent email and functionally it
seems fine, it currently includes include/asm-* for all architectures
but I suppose they will all go away shortly.

The output was a bit odd though:
        $ make cscope
        /bin/sh /local/scratch/ianc/devel/linux-2.6.git/scripts/tags.sh cscope
          GEN     cscope.out (from 13251 files)
I guess I would have expected "  GEN     cscope.files" instead of the
first line or just "  TAGS"?
