Re: Userland headers available

The obvious way is to have the kernel headers include the userland

Userland then includes the normal kernel headers, but only gets the
userland-safe ones.
I just realized this wasn't clear. I envision a new set of headers in
the kernel that are clean to export to userland. The current headers
then include the appropriate userland-clean ones, and everything below
that is kernel only.
This lets the kernel maintain the userland-clean headers explicitly, and
we don't have the work of cleaning them up for glibc.
