Subject: Good idea to rename files in include/uapi/ ?

Hello there!

At the moment one can't checkout a clean working directory w/o any 
changed files on a case-insensitive FS as the following file names have 
lower-case duplicates:

➜  linux git:(96144c58abe7) git ls-files |sort -f |uniq -id
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_DSCP.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_MARK.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ECN.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_TTL.h
include/uapi/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_HL.h
net/netfilter/xt_DSCP.c
net/netfilter/xt_HL.c
net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c
net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c
tools/memory-model/litmus-tests/Z6.0+pooncelock+poonceLock+pombonce.litmus
➜  linux git:(96144c58abe7)

Also even on a case-sensitive one VIm seems to have trouble with editing 
both case-insensitively equal files at the same time.

I was going to make a patch renaming the respective duplicates, but I'm 
not sure:

*Is it a good idea to rename files in include/uapi/ ?*

Best,
AK
