Obviously keeping linux/ and asm/ symlinks for backwards > compatibility. I'd rather not change linux and asm within the kernel itself. We'd have to patch pretty much every file and move all the include files around. That's a lot of patch. How about calling the interface headers "kapi*/" instead of "user*/". In case you haven't guessed, "kapi" would be short for "kernel-api". Then we'd have in the kernel: NEW DIRECTORY DIRECTORY SHADOWED ============= ================== include/kapi/ include/linux/ include/kapi-*/ include/asm-*/ include/kapi-rxrpc/ include/rxrpc/ include/kapi-net/ include/net/ And in userspace: SOURCE INSTALLED AS ====================== ============ include/kapi/ /usr/include/kapi/ include/kapi-i386/ /usr/include/kapi-i386/ include/kapi-generic/ /usr/include/kapi-generic/ /usr/include/linux -> kapi /usr/include/asm -> kapi-i386 /usr/include/asm-generic -> kapi-generic (?)
