I was actually proposing patches that moved GPIO headers from
<mach/foo-gpio> to <linux/gpio/foo.h> but they were NAK:ed or
frowned upon, so I guess we're keeping the <mach/*> include
union namespace for machine/SoC-specific headers.

Now we just try to make files in this namespace have unqiue
names.
