Yeah, ok, that's worse :)

But why is it even needed? It kinda seems to me that this means we're
not splitting the code well.

IMHO, if we even want to treat LKL/UML as sub-arches, then we should
still split the driver code off in a cleaner way, rather than linking
half here half there?

And maybe reorg the code... but I'll reply over in your other email
more.

I'm also generally not convinced that it's a good idea to sprinkle these
kinds of ifdefs over the place.
