I really liked the proposal that Matthew Wilcox came up with:
Todays hirachi:
include/linux => Kernel wide internal
include/sub-system => sub-system internal
include/asm-$(ARCH) => arch specific
include/asm => symlink to include/asm-$(ARCH)
include/asm-generic => default arch implementations
Additional hirachy:
usr/include/linux-abi => kernel wide ABI
usr/include/abi-$(ARCH) => arch specifics ABI
usr/include/arch-abi => symlink to above
I've lost the original email, so the names differ, but the
principle is the same.
Then we could slowly migrate the user level stuff to usr/include.
Do you see this as a sensible solution also for ipv6?
