Well I guess you could call it UABI, but that might also imply that
it's _userspace_ that defines the interface, instead of the kernel.
Since the headers themselves are rather tightly coupled with the
kernel, I think I'll stick with the KABI name for now (unless
somebody can come up with a better one, of course :-D).
