As a historyless patchset, this gets the merge all wrong.
If the reason to put this in tree is to keep the kernel just working
then there is a great big hole of 40 patches for git bisect to find.

changes to the

If they are in the wrong order then that is not good enough.
The patch names and descriptions are wrong because the are from
the klibc git tree.
01-add-klibckinit-to-maintainers-file.patch
02-remove-root-mounting-code-from-the-kernel-.patch
03-remove-parts-moved-to-kinit.patch
04-support-klibcarch-being-different-from-the-main-arch.patch
This looks to be 04-powerpc-set-klibc-arch
05-need-to-export-ranlib-from-the-top-makefile.patch
06-re-create-root-dev-too-many-architectures-need-it-.patch
Make the "move stuff i need" and make it first
07-eliminate-unnecessary-whitespace-delta-vs-linus-tree.patch
I didn't look, this corrects whitespace before patching? ok early
08-klibc-default-initramfs-content-stored-in-usrinitramfs-default.patch
09-kbuild-support-single-targets-for-klibc-and-klibc-programs.patch
10-remove-prototype-for-name-to-dev-t.patch
11-enable-klibc-errlist.patch
What does this do? No Help, no description, and doesn't trigger
anything in this patch.
12-enable-config-klibc-zlib-now-required-to-build-kinit.patch
What does this do? No Help, no description, and doesn't do anything
in the curreent patch
usr/klibc/Kbuild:
libc-$(CONFIG_KLIBC_ZLIB) += \
zlib/adler32.o zlib/compress.o zlib/crc32.o zlib/gzio.o \
zlib/uncompr.o zlib/deflate.o zlib/trees.o zlib/zutil.o \
zlib/inflate.o zlib/infback.o zlib/inftrees.o zlib/inffast.o
At this point, this is required by kinit, which is why it is not
possible to disable.
13-uml-the-klibc-architecture-is-the-underlying-architecture.patch
14-remove-in-kernel-nfsroot-code.patch
15-default-klibcarch--arch.patch
16-sparc64-transmit-arch-specific-options-to-kinit-via-arch-cmd.patch
17-sparc32-transfer-arch-specific-options-to-arch-cmd.patch
where is x86 and x86_64 ?
oh you deleted and did not put that back
That's correct; I went around and talked to both x86 and sparc people,
and the x86 people uniformly announced rdev support as being obsolete;
the sparc people, however, continue to rely on being able to get data
from openprom.
18-klibc-inkernel-merge-s390s390x-4.patch
This patchname is meaningless.
The description in the patch is worse.
It looks like it should be 18-s390-set-klibcarch
Hmm... i didn't find the patch removig usr/Makefile, just adding
usr/Kbuild. usr/Kbuild should be a diff against the existing
usr/Makefile, whcih can be renamed.
True. Git could work this out.
I have been reluctant to spend too much time on packaging, because I've
still had the issue of continue to maintain the out-of-tree distribution
(which includes usr/Kbuild) indefinitely. I need to spend some more
time scripting.
