I firmly believe that /usr/include/machine should point to
<arch> (e.g. mips) instead of <port> (e.g. pmax). If you are
building specific programs to a port, then you should use
something <pmax/foo.h>.
This would go a long way to have a common userland per arch.
Things like disklabel.h need to special cased (I'd probably
use an array with port/labelsector/labeloffset) that disklabel
could search for the right value.
