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.
