The above is inside #ifdef __KERNEL__ / #endif
so it is not exported as we drop code protected
by __KERNEL__ when we prepare for export.

Id addition "phandle" and "ihandle" needs to have
two underscores apended as we cannot just add the above
to the userspace namespace and expect it to be OK.

We do this for many other typers already, see __u32 for example.
