Yes, they are currently used with ioctl for video mode selection
by the ps3videomode utility.
OK, you recommend having two headers one for the kernel and one for
the application or library, then keeping them in sync. I think
in some ways that is easier for the package user also, since there
is no dependency on kernel headers. It does mean that the package
definitions need to be kept up to date.
