6/7 we already had in -tip, apparently.

I'm really of two minds regarding the patches that replace pure data 
types (2/7-5/7).  Part of me thinks it would be better to do this via a 
script in make headers_install, but another part of me thinks that that 
is a recipe for missing includes.

However, if subsystem maintainers are sharing headers with other 
platforms, it's probably the only sane road to go.
