Indeed. Properly speaking though, headers that are exported to
userland should define only the precise symbols that userland needs;
kernel-only material should be kept elsewhere.

We're a long way from that. Someday I'll clean it all up, but I think
it had better wait until after we get version control that supports
rename.

In the meantime, wrapping in _KERNEL is the best we can do...
