Huh?
Doesnt that create a sparse warning? You already mention that the exported
header does not contain __user and that is perfectly ok:
- for the kernel dirty_bitmap is in the user address space, so we need the __user
- userspace does not know and need the __user so it is removed during 
  headers_install.
