These should only exist if there are multiple C source files.

Third category:
  - headers consumed only by the driver, but not driver-specific.
    These are currently mostly in /sys/i386/isa/ic or combined
    with headers in the first category.  They should be elsewhere.
    Since I don't believe in /dev, I would attempt to put them in
    /sys/ic and /sys/{isa,pci,...}.
