Actually, can we just put a hold on this until we decide what we're
doing with exporting include/scsi.

Arguments so far are

     1. Don't export and let glibc supply the headers (as it does now)
     2. Move headers to be exported to include/linux
     3. Take over include/scsi export from glibc: this will necessitate
        comparing our current headers and those of glibc and moving
        stuff around.
