I've been looking into some fixes for the current state, and have a few
questions...

1. These are only appropriate on PC arches (plus a few old PC-like
systems, like Alpha). However, they are C, so make doesn't build them.
Should I add a per-arch *.c rule to the Makefile? (this seems better to
me than adding an #ifdef and building an empty file on other arches)

2.  To add per-arch headers in include/sys/, should I 
mkdir arch/${ARCH}/sys/
?
Will this require changing the makefile?

3.  I'm thinking to copy in the macros, and would like a few tips on
style:
-I assume I should delete needless comments such as 
/* Basic I/O macros */
..
#endif /* _SYS_IO_H */

-static inline or static ?

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham
