Actually, I'm not sure that's the best way forwards ... the idea of include/scsi is to group all the SCSI headers together; having to put them in include/linux if they need to be exported defeats that purpose slightly. I think the first point of business might be to find out why (or even if) glibc still wants its own SCSI headers. After all, we now have quite an anomaly: if you use the old SG_IO ioctl, glibc supplies the header in include/scsi/sg.h; if you use the new bsg SG_IO then we supply it in include/linux/bsg.h > How does a lowly contributor track these kind of nuances ? If the creator of the kernel header exports missed this problem for a year, I think it's safe to assume you don't lose brownie points for not spotting it either.
