Hi,
Please find some updates to headers_install.txt. In particular the
commands to list the architectures are removed, per Sam Ravnborg's
request.
Changes from v1 [1]:
- remove the shell commands to list architectures with 'asm' headers
(in a dedicated patch)
- patch to update documentation now only fixes the various paths
for the headers.

As noted by Sam Ravnborg in reply [1] to "[PATCHv1 2/2]
Documentation/kbuild/headers_install.txt: update documentation" [2],
all architectures support exporting userspace headers (while 'um'
being a special case), so there's no need to list them.
This patch removes the obsolete shell commands to list
architectures with a dedicated 'asm' directory.

Documentation in kbuild/headers_install.txt is not up to date
regarding paths where the headers are installed.
This patch fixes the documention with the correct information.

who create an architecture-independent tarball from the resulting include
directory.) You also can use HDR_ARCH_LIST to specify list of architectures.
