You can't get rid of the empty header files completely. They're exported to userspace and so userspace may require their presence. I could put a guard in there just so they're not empty, I suppose. > So, a manual fix may be in order? Or just apply the removal regexp to each line before I write the UAPI header out. I'll have a play with it later.
