The obvious way is to have the kernel headers include the userland
headers, then everything below that be wrapped in "#ifdef __KERNEL__". Userland then includes the normal kernel headers, but only gets the userland-safe ones.

I just realized this wasn't clear. I envision a new set of headers in the kernel that are clean to export to userland. The current headers then include the appropriate userland-clean ones, and everything below that is kernel only.


This lets the kernel maintain the userland-clean headers explicitly, and we don't have the work of cleaning them up for glibc.
