Well, there is another thing which has to be considered.  That is
name space pollution.
Header files which are exported to userland (for userland visible APIs)
should not export random symbols.  Only symbols which are defined as
the interface of the header file are allowed to be exported.

It seems the <sys/param.h> change is safe about this point though,
because all definitions of the uvm_param.h seem to be protected
by defined(_KERNEL).
