Hey David.

Is there some list of files that are more likely to
trigger this?

Maybe add a section like:

USERSPACE ABI/API INTERFACES
L:	linux-api@...r.kernel.org
F:	include/asm-generic/errno*.h
F:	include/linux/capability.h
F:	include/linux/compat.h
F:	include/linux/syscalls.h
F:	include/*/unistd.h

Maybe add some arch wildcards?

F:	arch/*/include/asm/errno.h
F:	arch/*/include/asm/unistd.h

Maybe add fs?

F:	fs/compat*.c

There's probably a bunch of others.
Suggestions?
