If we decide to remove the file, I would rather go through deprecation of the file with filing an entry in feature-remove-schedule. There still seems to be some users of the file.
With deprecation done with sth. like #ifndef __KERNEL__ #warning Don't include this file from userspace, it's emtpy. #endif
