Andreas,

Would you mind reviewing this?

I'd like an objective review from another senior glibc reviewer.

The goal here is simple, support including the kernel and glibc
headers in any order and coordinate structure definitions to maintain
the ABI.

The kernel headers often have structures and definitions that are
required by specialized userspace applications, and we'd like those
applications to be easy to write and maintain. Coordinate the headers
is going to make this simpler for everyone.

Cheers,
Carlos.
