If you mostly care about new extensions, we can ignore all the user ABI headers for now and find a solution that just deals with the kernel internal ones. I think the easiest way to do that would be to move all non-exported headers from include/asm-generic to include/asm. Since it's only about internel users then, we can simply use "#include_next <asm/foo.h>" to refer to them from arch-specific files that want to reuse them only partially and also add some of their own definitions.
