Thomas,
Why do the following files appear in OpenSuse 10.2?

$ find /usr/include -name '*acpi*'
/usr/include/asm/acpi.h
/usr/include/asm-x86_64/acpi.h
/usr/include/asm-i386/acpi.h
/usr/include/linux/acpi.h
/usr/include/linux/pci-acpi.h

They are not present on a Fedora Core 6 system.
No idea. I never used them and I don't know any user space tool using
them.

This header files are part of the linux kernel, and thus of course
available in /usr/include/{asm,linux}.

Not all kernel headers have a meaning to user space, and not all of them should be available there. More, none of the ACPI linux kernel headers have meaning to user space applications, thus they "of course"
should not be available.
