2 + 3... Let include/scsi be kernel internal stuff. And have the exported headers in include/linux.
This is how net/ handle their headers.
I did a quick diff of the glibc provided scsi.h and kernel scsi.h. From a quick look it seems that we have more in the kernel version than the glibc version - and no obvious conflicts.
But agree with Boaz that we should do this in one go.
