Good. Because everything under __KERNEL__ belongs to the kernel and is
subject to change without notice. If you really need something from that
area - you've either
a) found a bug or
b) missed a portable way to achieve your goal.
Userland should never, ever define __KERNEL__, unless it's consent with
breakage upon the upgrade from 2.2.18-pre9 to 2.2.18-pre10-pre1.
