Right, actually, zlib could be switched over to [using a common directory].
Because zlib_deflate/ and zlib_inflate/ too share a private header

Well, unfortunately zutil.h is currently being used in-kernel by fs/ jffs2/compr_zlib.c despite the "WARNING: this file should *not* be used by applications" notice.

So moving this header to a truly private location isn't possible right now, unfortunately,
