I'm working on some sample patches now which I'll try to post in a few days if I get the time.

Ok, here's a sample of the KABI conversion and cleanup patches that I'm proposing. I have a few fundamental goals for these patches:

is KABI the right name? I mean.. from the kernel pov it's the interface to userspace ;)

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).
