Seconded.  The one that trips me up the most is the uapi one ... I
always forget that include/linux/X.h might have an
include/uapi/linux/X.h counterpart which is where the structure I'm
looking for actually is.

I think it's worth discussing this.  We accept a lot of patches because
we can and because the change looks innocuous enough, but which don't
actually have a tangible user visible benefit.  Should we actually have
a net benefit threshold test we apply?
