That sounds fine to me. The only (slight) down side is that it would
need to include all of the asm-XXX directores, where as the arch
specific ones usually only contain asm-<arch> and asm-generic.  So the
install side would increase a bit. But the packaging complexity would
decrease, and thats a win IMHO.
