Yah, I don't like it either, but.. :-)

Sort of.

<sys/typedefs/vnode.h>  // contains the "vnode_t" opaque type definition
<sys/impl/vnode_impl.h> // contains the guts of "struct vnode" and the other implementation details

<sys/mount.h>  // Contains some of the file system interfaces, some of which use vnode_t
<sys/vnode.h>  // Contains the vnode interfaces, which definitely use vnode_t

The latter if the two would each include <sys/typedefs/vnode.h>.

Feel free to pick a better name, but that's the idea.
