Fix what?

I really don't like this namespace pollution.

Ho humm. This shouldn't be in a header file. Not even with an #ifdef
that exactly one C file then sets.

Ick.

kernel-doc explaining the commands would be immensely helpful.

Just leave it out then. You're fixing ABI here.

Why not just use two header files, one in net/ and one in linux/?

That doesn't make any sense. Why the indirection?

Like I thought. That's ugly.

This seems weird.

That's some odd coding style.
