How about sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/asm-generic/bits/statfs.h?

As I recall the original discussion, the idea was that going forward theasm-generic stuff would correspond to new "generic" Linux support. It'snot clear the "asm-" really adds anything to the name.

That said, I don't feel strongly about it, and if there is consensus tochange the name, I'd be happy to accept a patch to do so. There are 80+files in that hierarchy, but I think some simple grep work shouldsuffice to find any references to linux/generic.
