Hi,

What is the point of having an .h file if it is not used by anyone?
Judging by the fact that it completely protected by #ifdef __KERNEL__
there should be no userspace clients either.

I always thought that the only time .h is needed is when you define
interface to your code. I'd fold it to sonpypi.c.
