Copying by hand and modifying. This patch series attempts to do it automatically within QEMU. > And it's clearly nonsensical to claim the GPL on kernel headers means > that userspace needs to be GPL. So please ignore this licensing > red-herring. You're missing context, I suspect. This series is trying to automatically copy the headers from Linux. We currently have a manually copied version. The headers are not currently well suited for automatic copying because (1) they use kernel types (2) they pull in dependencies from throughout the kernel. This discussion comes down to whether we want to make it easier to automatically copy the headers or do we maintain the status quo and require manual munging to pull in the headers.
