Err no.  The decompressor is _not_ part of the kernel, it's a separate
stand alone environment.  Including randomly kernel headers from the
rest of the kernel is bad news, particularly if they start calling out
to external code.

You should try to keep your uncompress.h as free of other dependencies
as possible.
