So you suggest: include/gen/

asm-offsets.h, mach-types.h and version.h is the ones with the highest count.

And version.h is an exported header which we cannot move in our exported
set of headers. Fortunately I have just checked in a patch so we can specify
an alternative destination when exporting so this should deal with version.h.

asm-offsets.h and mach-types.h require a small helper file as you suggest,
otherwise it would be a _huge_ patch.

We can later migrate more generated files to this location.
(autoconf.h, config/* etc).
