It has a few kernel declarations protected by ifdef __KERNEL__ and exactly what you have above.

That is not acceptable for me since I will need to provide an open-osd-devel package to distros and I might need bsg.h, which I cannot supply with my package, what if someone else will need it too then we have a conflict. I'm sending a patch, please ACK? Thanks Boaz --- From: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:43:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] include/linux: Add bsg.h to the Kernel exported headers bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode consumption. It is needed together with scsi/sg.h for applications that want to interface with the bsg driver. Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need to provide a libxxx-devel package for distros.
