Yeah, I considered this. But there is a precedent for such duplication, and as yet there is no common header file. So it does not belong in this particular patch... not to say it is without merit though.
The arch maintainers I talked to generally didn't think it was a really pressing issue, so I think I would leave such a consolidation patch for someone else.
