As I recall the original discussion, the idea was that going forward the 
asm-generic stuff would correspond to new "generic" Linux support.  It's 
not clear the "asm-" really adds anything to the name.

That said, I don't feel strongly about it, and if there is consensus to 
change the name, I'd be happy to accept a patch to do so.  There are 80+ 
files in that hierarchy, but I think some simple grep work should 
suffice to find any references to linux/generic.
