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).
How about __linux, or __linux_abi? There are ABIs for other components, and other OSes. Linux is the name of the project after all.
The other thing that I quickly noticed while writing up the patches is that it's kind of tedious typing __kabi_ over and over again. I actually did first try with __linux_abi_ but the typing effort and finger cramps made me give up on that really quickly.
