    A year after I did report this inconsistency, it is still not fixed

    If include/scsi/scsi.h is included without __KERNEL__ #defined, then this
    error message apears.

    /usr/src/linux/include/scsi/scsi.h:172: parse error before "u8"
    /usr/src/linux/include/scsi/scsi.h:172: warning: no semicolon at end of struct
    or union
    /usr/src/linux/include/scsi/scsi.h:173: warning: data definition has no type or
    storage class

    Is there no interest in user applications for kernel features or is there just
    no kernel maintainer left over who makes the needed work?

    Hints:

    - A type named "u8" is superfluous (even with __KERNEL__ #defined)
            because we have a standard type uint8_t

    - Kernel include files should be checked for use compliance with level
            compilations on a regular base. It is the duty of the persons who
            make changes to make sure that their changes don't break things.
