Since we only need the machdep definitions for everything in one
MACHINE_ARCH, there's no need to clutter the completely MI sysctl
header.  It might be easier to think in terms of the recent discussion
on one distrib set per MACHINE_ARCH instead of one per MACHINE.

Ick, that doesn't sound too clear on re-reading it but I hope you get
the gist of what I mean...
