Utter crap.

We don't _change_ any of the structs which would be exposed in such
files (i.e. the structs which should be outside the #ifdef __KERNEL__ at
the moment, because that would mean we break userspace binary
compatibility from kernel to kernel.

We absolutely do _NOT_ want to go there. We're talking about cleaning up
the existing mess, not starting a crack habit.
