Hello,

gitorious seems to have problems at the moment (trying to access
the web interface gives "bad gateway", running git clone gives
timeouts).  I therefore cannot look at your repository, so maybe
this is actually a non-issue or handled by your changes, but just
to be sure: AFAICS we still have two armhf kernel flavours, armmp
and armmp-lpae, so we still need the subdirectory structure,
don't we?

ACK.
