Erm... well... whenever I did that, "it seemed a good idea back then".
No, really, some of them were based on the decision that this is quite
Cygwin specific, like the mtio.h and rdevio.h files, some were the
result of ripping out Cygwin-specific stuff from newlib.  History is
probably as good a description as reason in many cases.  Having
low-level stuff in the cygwin subdirectory is still basically a good
idea, IMHO.

In this case I'm rather surprised that these very GNU/Linux specific
things are *not* in a linux/sysinfo.h file.  But it doesn't hurt to keep
that in line with Linux, right?
