Subject: [PATCH 2.5.21] i386 arch subdivision into machine types
Date:	 Sun, 09 Jun 2002 13:29:49 -0400

This code rearranges the arch/i386 directory structure to allow for sliding 
additional non-pc hardware in here in an easily separable (and thus easily 
maintainable) fashion.  The idea is that all the code for the particular 
problem hardware should be able to go in a separate directory with only 
additional build options in config.in.

The current patch really only pulls out the visws code from the core and 
places it into a separate directory (sort of a simple example case).  It also 
creates a generic directory (for standard x86 PCs) with all of the hooks 
documented.

This code is a merger with the Patrick Mochel/Dave Jones setup and cpu split.  
It also includes documentation for all of the created hooks inside arch/i386.
