3.5.7u1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Marek <mma...@suse.cz>
commit fe04ddf7c2910362f3817c8156e41cbd6c0ee35d upstream.
There were reports of users destroying their Fedora installs by a kernel
tarball that replaces the /lib -> /usr/lib symlink. Let's remove the
toplevel directories from the tarball to prevent this from happening.
Reported-by: Andi Kleen <a...@firstfloor.org>
Suggested-by: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk>

[ herton: dropped unrelated changes to arch/x86/Makefile and
scripts/Makefile.fwinst, which don't apply anyway on 3.5, see commit
3ce9e53e788881da0d5f3912f80e0dd6b501f304 upstream ]
