While editing some Makefiles I was wondering what people thought
of using symlinks to processor dependent files instead of nested
ifdefs in Makefiles?

For starters, make arch/ppc/kernel/head.S a symlink to the appropriate
one in that directory, and derive the name to use from one of the
config options.  I thought I would ask before demonstrating the change.

I like the general concept.  I was suggesting the general idea for header
files to Tom Rini recently since I really like how clean it makes things
in include/asm-arm where there are include/asm-arm/arch-???? directories.
Although their overall software architecture is different and we'd need
some changes, I think it's a great cleanup goal.
