I guess, we now will need at least one new maintainer of a package called
"kernel->userland headers". It, most likely, will be a collection of
sed and awk scripts (maybe perl) which will run through the kernel tree,
creating a clean userland-useable tree.
It should adapt automatically to minor additions (like extra defines or
structs), it needs manual adaptation whenever files move.
