The _UAPI prefix will be useful when you happen to
add the corresponding kernel-space header
since it is often the case to have the same name headers
for kernel-space and uapi.



For example, compare the include guards of the following.

include/linux/kernel.h
include/uapi/linux/kernel.h


Or, if you want to see an example for netfilter,

include/linux/netfilter/xt_hashlimit.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_hashlimit.h



I recommend to add _UAPI prefix to headers
under include/uapi/
to avoid include guard conflict.

The _UAPI prefix is ripped off by
scripts/headers_install.sh
when exported to user-space.
