With arm, we trying a new technique.  The Makfile.arm will automagically
allow <machine/asm.h> to be picked up from <arm/asm.h> without having to
have a #include <arm/asm.h> in <port>/include.  And for user space,
usr/include/machine will be a symlink to arm, not the port.

While the current method for mips, etal works it has a number of problems.
Since we are a new architecture port, let's see if we can do it better.

The primary reason for this is so that a make build on *any* arm port will
produce the same results.
