The obvious way is to have the kernel headers include the userland headers, then everything below that be wrapped in "#ifdef __KERNEL__". Userland then includes the normal kernel headers, but only gets the userland-safe ones.
This sounds too easy though--I'm sure I've missed something, but I can't think what....
