But you do not see the rename arch/x86_64/kernel/{vmlinux.lds.S => vmlinux.lds.S}
And this is I thing the important step here.

For vmlinux.lds.S we have two renames.
First the vmlinux.lds.S => vmlinux_64.lds.S
But this may be a copy instead of a rename thus preventing us
to see the old history of vmlinux.lds.S?
