hpa IIRC suggested to create a separate directory:

I support include/abi, or some other directory that segregates
user<->kernel shared headers away from kernel-private headers.
I don't see how that would be auto-generated, though. Only created
through lots of hard work :)
There is no need to be a prophet to predict linux/abi being 99%
symlinks right into include/{asm,linux}.
So it is can turn out to be the same ;-)
It just adds job for mantainers.
(To keep symlinks in correct order ;-)))))
But generally idea is good: keep interface separately from
implementation.
