Hey David.

Is there some list of files that are more likely to
trigger this?

Maybe add a section like:

USERSPACE ABI/API INTERFACES
L: linux-api@vger.kernel.org
F: include/asm-generic/errno*.h
F: include/linux/capability.h
F: include/linux/compat.h
F: include/linux/syscalls.h
F: include/*/unistd.h

Maybe add some arch wildcards?

F: arch/*/include/asm/errno.h
F: arch/*/include/asm/unistd.h

Maybe add fs?

F: fs/compat*.c

There's probably a bunch of others.
Suggestions?
