Yea, these things are debatable, and we debate them a lot on mailing lists and
IRC.  The team generally works to be consistent, and this makes it easier to
read new areas of the code.  In this case, I think the consistant thing to do is
to wrap this constant in an #if defined(OS_LINUX) && !defined(OS_CHROME_OS), to
ensure that it can not be used on other platforms.

This will mean you can't use the path constant as-is in
ExternalFilesystemExtensionLoader.  Class ExternalPrefExtensionLoader gets
around this problem by passing the constant as an integer to the constructor. 
The constant appears in external_extension_provider_impl.cc line 318.

Done.
