Well, kernel headers are less widely used than others, and everywhere else it is E_*. Since - kernel headers in general aren't meant as an interface for userland, - the definition is inconsistent to the userland one, - the in-kernel use seems to be limited to the ELF binary object loader and probably third party modules loaders I found moving to a consistent definition to be more useful than keeping the old inconsistent one.
