This is more a problem of the fact that only the Alpha and i386
kernels are developed in the master tree; if a conscious effort was
made to keep the arch include headers in sync with the development
kernels for each port (which have constant locations) this wouldn't be
a problem.

Of course, this is further complicated because the kernels that aren't
developed in the master tree don't have consistent release timetables,
so they tend to skip master tree versions.
