That is really the way I've implemented it. The only PC specific file in the
generic directory is mpparse.c (since neither visws nor voyager has an MP
compliant bios). All the shareable files are kept in `kernel' and activated
by config options.
I can certainly move mpparse.c back to kernel and add an extra (non user
visible) config option.

It creates directories `generic' for the standard pc and `visws'. The voyager
patch creates a `voyager' directory. Alternatively, these could be `mach-pc',
`mach-visws' and `mach-voyager'.
