It would be better to make the change in one place, rather than for
each architecture. That would appear to involve moving a hunk from
arch/x86/Makefile into init/Makefile, or perhaps ./Makefile.

That way it can still be tested on x86, and it is very reasonable to
assume that it will work as intended on other architectures.
