> Delete most stuff in arch/ and samples/ ?

Probably? If you really want an apples-to-apple comparison, delete everything but x86_64 support from both Linux and Hurd. Remove sample code.

linux/net isn't strictly "drivers", but implements the base of the networking stack. That's 900k lines. Is that networking base code included with the Hurd figures? If not, delete it (or include in your comparison Hurd's base networking code).

Beyond that, this is getting a bit ridiculous. Who cares about the LoC comparisons? They're very different kernels with very different levels of maturity and number of features. I'm not even convinced you can call one "better" or "worse" based on this metric at all.
