Why must the ABI headers be included by both kernel and user headers to
be sane?
Hmmm ... I'm not sure I want to ask that, actually. I have this feeling
from the tone of your assertion that you can explain to me why such a
header organization is the only one that fits your mental model of how
these things are structured, but that communication between us may
break down when you try to convince me that your mental model for this
is the only correct one.
Oh well ... we'll see where this goes.
