We tend to be biased against doing things in kernel headers just for
userspace programs.  I'd suggest either (1) drop the #define false/true's,
or (2) if a compelling userspace need is presented that wins the day,
at least comment the dang defines.

pair of defines has lost all sense that I can see.  So they need a
justifying comment if they stay.
