Re: [RFC][MEGAPATCH] Change __ASSEMBLY__ to __ASSEMBLER__ (defined by GCC from 2.95 to current CVS)

Don't confuse theory and practice.  In theory, these new headers
present information already known to the kernel, so should not
be separate.  But in practice, the demands are sufficiently different
that it will be easier to maintain as a separate set of headers.

The only sane thing is to have a set of ABI headers with a clean, specific set of rules, which is included by the kernel private headers, as well as userspace.
