Perhaps we need an arch/x86_common that has this code. Not just to help
those that like to delete other archs, but also to make it easier for us
that might modify the code and know that this code is shared. It's
better design to have a arch/x86_common that is compiled with i386 and
x86_64 than to have code with - #include "../../x86_64/kernel/blah.c" -
in it.
I'd tend to agree (unless it is a big problem).
It seems an unsound design principle to manually be
including code via direct references to a different architecture
tree.
