This would not be in the Unix tradition. Traditionally, /usr/include/sys already has all the kernel header files, or at least a large part of it. Linux already deviates from this, as /usr/include/sys is entirely controlled by the C library.
I'm not saying that one approach is better than the other, as I think this is a matter of taste. What really matters is what happens when user applications do include stuff of <linux/*.h>.
