However, in the places where it does fall over, there are already people
asking for this kind of code isolation.  So, moving headers used by
standalone code into src/sys/ seems quite appropriate.

I didn't say it was already in a workable state; this is just one step
needed to make standalone code isolation workable.  It's a worthwhile goal.
