3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Marek <mmarek at 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.

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