Why not making sources modular locally?
Running arch/i386, I removed arch/mips, arch/sparc, ... as I'm low of
free space.
The config program symlinks the right asm directory for the include
files. Why not offer a question to remove unneeded architeture
dependent files.

With the scripts/patch-kernel you can still apply patches, but you
get errors for each file that is missing. You need to do some
interaction there.
