Do you think the "fix headers_check" patches spend lots of time analyzing
things? I bet no. They just try to make the warning go away, so you don't
actually end up with any more "coverage" anyway. Quite the reverse -
instead of having a simple rule ("CONFIG_xyz options simply do not exist
in user space"), you end up having ad-hoc hacks on a per-fix basis.
This is probably true. I think we should add this as one more of the
preprocessing rules which we really should just do, as well as automatic
mangling of integer types.
