The latter.  Well, it's done differently on cats, dnard and netwinder.
Look in sys/arch/Makefile.  I think matt's plan is that in user-land,
asking for <machine/foo.h> always gets you <arm/foo.h>, and in the kernel
it gets you <$MACHINE/foo.h> if that exists and <arm/foo.h> otherwise.
This should stop user programs being accidentally MACHINE-dependent.
