My concern is that when I think of a user-space header file, I think of a user-space application that calls ioctls. I know that KVM guest kernels run as user-space processes, but that does not seem like a reason to combine all of the header files that the KVM guest kernel needs with "real" user-space header files. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
