Honestly, I do not completely like your approach of getting the 
microblaze port submitter to create the asm-generic files - I would 
personally prefer if the microblaze port would look exactly like all 
other ports and the (reasonable) changes you have in mind were not
being discussed and done as part of the submission of a new port.

After all, it won't matter whether we'll unify resp. remove
22 or 23 files.
