Why did you move the driver includes to include/video ? What is the reasoning here ?

For example, drivers/video/radeon.h moved to include/video/radeon.h

Yes. You never know. The other big reason was so userland could have a standard set of hardware header files to program graphics hardware. Now SDL and directfb etc can use the same header files.

Yeah, but what does it have to do with kernel? You should have gotten Uli to add them to glibc.

Headers like have no place in glibc either. There should be one or more separate packages which distribute kernel headers.

I can see your point, but imagine how many packages this is going to create. Shall we plead with Arjan to maintain glibc-kernelheaders as a community package, to be a clearinghouse for these things?

Yes. It would be nice to have a tarball of it on kernel.org instead of only the SRPM on rawhide, btw..
