Huh. arch/arc is very similar to arch/arm. So similar that it took me
10 minutes to figure out. I guess theres no alternate name arc could
use?
Hmm... "Advanced Risc"... :-(.

Ok, plus there's already computing standard called "arc".

What about calling the architecture "sarc" or "syarc" ?
I think it would be best use of everybody's time if you could focus on
the technical content of the port rather than the name. It has been like
that for +10 years and I don't intend to make the kernel port name
different from THE arch name itself.
