Re: API/ABI rank of headers in /usr/include/isofs/cd9660



  while fixing rollovers and implementing a new mount_cd9660 option -s,
  i stumble over the content of public include directory
    /usr/include/isofs/cd9660
  which exposes all header files from the kernel source of cd9660:
    cd9660_extern.h     cd9660_rrip.h       iso_rrip.h
    cd9660_mount.h      cd9660_node.h       iso.h

It's probably a historical accident that so much is installed.   I would
not conclude from installation that they are meant to be a public API
with any compat guarantees.

In a lot of headers, there is "#ifdef _KERNEL" to keep kernel-private
bits from being accessed by userland.

Likely all of this could be improved.
