Thanks Pavel!

As far as user-space testing, I have a simple test program that
compilers in user-space using a hacked-up system include directory and
compiles the kernel code unmodified.  I'll be sure and write the test
code to work both in-kernel and in user space, although working out the
portability of the build will be a bit of a challenge.
