I was thinking of doing this as a "take 2", after this set got in.

I'm not sure if it's already there or not, but perhaps checkpatch could
add a way to see if a new file is created in arch/*/include/asm/* that
only adds an include of asm-generic (ignoring the #ifndef _FOO_H
wrappers), and tell the user to use the generic-y += in Kbuild method.
