Exactly. Every "generic" kernel should include its own ${name}.local,
like e.g. GENERIC64 and GENERIC64.local vs GENERIC and GENERIC.local
do on evbarm.

Including ${some_other_name}.local is a confusing (and probably just a
copy & pasto bug).

Maybe GENERIC should be split into a common part and both XEN* and GENERIC
should include that common part, then do their special things, and
at the end do the cinclude *.local for their "own" local part.
