BTW, is there any rational reason that the include path lookup doesn't
just check for the files in include/asm-generic after looking in
arch/*/include/asm? 

Really, the best way would be just to add the default asm files into
include/asm-generic and be done with it. I hate the fact that we need to
touch every arch for every generic default file.

I'd be willing to take a look at fixing this too, when I get a chance.
