i2c-dev.h

So '- km' in the sensors.h comments must be Kyosti...

There has got to be some common header files between kernel and user space so 
that data structures and "magic" constants are shared.

If user space can't include kernel headers, then the kernel will have to 
include a "user space" header.

It would seem to me that the alternative of having two copies of the same data 
structures and constants would be worse.

When did this become such a big issue?

Absolutely, either put the old code back or create another file with the 
common code that can be included one place or the other...

:v)
