My current idea is to have an explicit list of asm-generic headers that can act as drop-in replacements, either in include/asm-generic/Makefile or in arch/*/include/asm/Makefile, and then generate these trivial wrappers in $(objdir)arch/*/include/asm/ and $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH)/asm if it doesn't already exist there. This way we don't have to change all the headers that do #include <asm-generic/foo.h> plus something else.
