Don't give up so fast. Please. 
Kernel should reclaim back control of it's own headers.
/usr/include/scsi is Kernel territory from the start.
This is just a plain historical mistake that glibc had
to duplicate all these Kernel headers.

Please lets start with scsi.h and then advance slowly
to more Headers like sg.h

Andrew, please help.

Thanks
