[PATCH 0/8] arm: use generic header files where possible

[Arnd Bergmann]

Many header files in the arm architecture already use the
common asm-generic implementation, but I found a number that
don't yet.

A signficant amount of code can be saved by either directly
falling back to the common implementation, where it has no
effect on compilation, or by using a combination of the
common file with arm-specific additions in the other cases.

In order to make this more appropriate for both review
and bisection in case of problems, I first change the headers
to be identical to the common version, aside from the
introductory copyright statement and include guard, and
in the second step replace the common parts with an
#include.

Arnd Bergmann (8):
  arm: generalize IPC header files
  arm: trivial changes to make headers more generic
  arm: remove unused asm/segment.h contents
  arm: make asm/ioctls.h mostly generic
  arm: generalize asm/posix_types.h
  arm: generalize asm/signal.h
  arm: generalize asm/termios.h
  arm: remove generic asm header file contents
