I am sorry, Eric, it looks not so good. I understand you want to pattern
asm/kexe.h, but we need consider reality. Introducing a dozen of empty
header file and not being able to tell when they will be filled doesn't
make sense.

Includig <asm/crash.h> where needed is much simpler. I doubt if your way
can pass other reviewers' line. Can you reconsider?
