How many .h files are there going to be?  It's just a single filesystem,
shouldn't you just need a single file?  If so, how about
	drivers/staging/lustre/include/uapi/lustre.h
?

If you really need multiple .h files, put them all in the same uapi/
directory with a lustre_ prefix, you don't need a whole subdir just for
yourself, right?
