[Peter Stuge]

Sorry for being so quiet lately. Too much backlog. :(

Sorry also for only complaining again. :(

I agree - I don't like arch twice.

What problem does the arch+arch directories solve?

Is there something in include/arch/x86/ that is _not_ arch-specific?
Is x86/arch/ actually needed to structure many x86 files, or is it
just abused to have neater #includes ?

If so, perhaps we can solve it in the Makefile instead. I'd prefer
-Iinclude/arch/x86 and just #include <lib.h> - even if it's just
in include/lib.h it all looks so much neater if we don't have the
extra directories.

May be a bikeshed.
