    It _isn't_ significantly more work. The _real_ work is in reading
    through the header files and deciding which parts should be private and
    which can be public, then splitting them up accordingly into separate
    files (or using 'ifdef __KERNEL__' if appropriate). That's the kind of
    thing that you seem particularly good at, which is why I've asked if you
    could help us with it.

    Moving the public files from one directory to another, if they've been
    suitably marked or listed somewhere, is _trivial_. Even if you've used
    #ifdef __KERNEL__ it's simple enough to do it automatically with tools
    like unifdef. The _real_ work which requires human attention is the same
    either way.

    But if you're not willing to help, that's fine. I just thought you'd be
    particularly suited to the task, that's all.
