Correct. In general the policy is to avoid the use of kernel header
files in user space and copy it but there are still a few crucial tools
that don't follow this rule of Linus, so try below patch. It also
removes the __KERNEL__ things left.
Cleaning up the use of kernel header to make them more usable for
userspace is one of the things on the agenda for 2.7. It'll be alot of
hard and boring work but MIPS will be one of the architectures that will
greatly benefit from this.
