The pccard and usb stuff are that way because they are that way in
{Net,Open}BSD. The usb and new pccard stuff is ports from there.
There has been some talk about "fixing" this, and I believe that all
parties agree that it is desirable. However, until it is fixed, it
remains the way that it is.
There are also other generated files in the tree. syscalls.c is
another example that is generated once, and then committed to the
tree.
