Hi,
maybe it makes sense to go in the opposite direction: add .dir-locals.el
in the top directory. The settings are actually identical in all .[ch] 
files.

This patch should be complemented with something like:
       git grep -l 'Mode: C'|xargs perl -pi -e 'undef $/;' -e 's|/\*-\*- 
Mode: C; c-basic-offset: 8; indent-tabs-mode: nil -\*-\*/\n*||'
