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).
