Hi,

First of all, I'm sorry for this no-subject covering letter. Accidents 
never happen only in a perfect world.

You're right, this would definitely look nicer.

Yes we can, which makes whole this patch a bit premature.

However, we can't predict whether someone may want to use kdbus headers 
for any other purpose. As for now, I don't see immediate need for this 
apart from implementing LSM callbacks.
