This looks awesome. Are there any plans to get these sub-architectures to work with the generic subarch? Seems the next logical step would be putting each mach-*/*.o into separated namespaces.

I haven't looked at that. This patch was intended to be a very simple uncontroversial rearrangement, in preparation for the Xen subarch, and to just clean up a corner of the kernel which seems to have gotten a bit warty. Chris just sent me your patches from March which look like they cover a lot of the same ground, but I haven't looked at them in detail yet.

This is cleaner than the patches I sent in March, although we want to re-use parts of the mach-default code, not replace it entirely. Hence my interest in the multi-subarch generic kernel. I'd be glad to look into it.
