Not to mention that these are stub files.. for example, physio_proc.h 
is:

struct physio_proc {
};
static __inline struct physio_proc *
physio_proc_enter(bp)
        struct buf *bp;
{
        return NULL;
}

static __inline void
physio_proc_leave(pp)
        struct physio_proc *pp;
{
}

dvcfg.h is 5 macros and a 2-item struct.

Anyway, I made the mistake of assuming that these were for NetBSD API 
compatability.  I initially thought that the dvcfg.h file was for 
interfacing with NetBSD's config(8) system.  But instead it seems they 
are for a variant of NetBSD.

I don't really care where they go, as long as it isn't in the MD include 
areas (they are not MD!), and not in sys/.  My favorites right now are
dev/pc98/* or compat/pc98/*.  I would also like sys/device_port.h to
move there too since it is used by the same group of ct/ncv/nsp/stg 
drivers.
