It _isn't_ significantly more work. The _real_ work is in reading through the header files and deciding which parts should be private and which can be public, then splitting them up accordingly into separate files (or using 'ifdef __KERNEL__' if appropriate). That's the kind of thing that you seem particularly good at, which is why I've asked if you could help us with it.
Moving the public files from one directory to another, if they've been suitably marked or listed somewhere, is _trivial_. Even if you've used #ifdef __KERNEL__ it's simple enough to do it automatically with tools like unifdef. The _real_ work which requires human attention is the same either way.
But if you're not willing to help, that's fine. I just thought you'd be particularly suited to the task, that's all.
