The *-offsets.h headers are special and for internal use only
and are auto-generated from the *.sym files.

Nothing prevents one from deploying any header you want as
part of the internal implementation details, however in this
case I think the expedient thing to do is leave ppc.h with
duplicate definitions of these constants for now. They can't
change anyway because they are ABI.

Cheers,
Carlos
