it is interesting that arm and x86 scripts and they are "almost" the
same. Is there any plan to put these script to generic location instead
of keeping the same copy in architecture?

fileguard name contains hardcoded macro prefix where in arm there is
uapi detection. The same should be done architecture and sholdn't matter
if you define macro with or without value.

Arm(and partially s390) are using tabs for indentation. Any reason not
to use it here too?
