    Current practice allows either method, but selinux is the only code I
    know that requires a second symlink.  AFAIK no other code has its own
    include/asm-$(ARCH) directory.  This caused problems for kbuild 2.5
    because of the support for separate source and object trees, but that
    is solved now.
    
    Other people are working on cleaning up the include files, to reduce
    complexity and interdependencies.  They are probably the better people
    to talk to about merging with the main include files or staying
    separate.  Other areas of the kernel like SCSI includes need cleaning
    up as well, it is better to agree on an overall design that fiddle with
    piecemeal changes.  Leave it alone for now and consider it as part of
    the 2.5 clean up.
