Right, I did this arch/lib.h thing in response to a request; people
did not like arch/x86/lib.h in includes. I personally like it, as it
reduces "magic".

I would rather NOT have the arch directory, and i would rather NOT
have duplicate names like lib.h.

So, quick, somebody, make a suggestion. Where do we put cpu-dependent
library functions? cpu.h?
