what's the criteria for putting a header file in "asm-generic/"?

  i'm curious about the rationale for why a header file would be
placed in include/asm-generic as opposed to include/linux.

  as an example, consider include/asm-generic/cputime.h.  if you check
that file, there's nothing in it that seems tied to assembler, and it
looks like it would fit just fine under include/linux.

  so what determines where a header file ends up?  thanks.
