Why would userspace need/want all of these inline functions? A uapi header file should just have a the structures that are passed user/kernel and any needed ioctls. Why would they ever care about strange byte flip functions and a ton of inline functions? I don't think this is needed, of if it is, I really don't want to see your crazy userspace code... thanks, greg k-h
