Well, this application evidently throws __KERNEL__, so my fix would
be somewhere in the application, not the headers.

Same as above: I consider the kernel headers as reference. Problems in 
the application should be fixed there. I do remember running into 
applications that used kernel space data types. In those cases I 
usually make the app use the corresponding POSIX types.

Eventually it seems to be a matter of taste where to make the fix.

The dedicated user api/abi headers that are in the works are 
definately the best solution.
