No worries, if I don't hear back from anyone about how this is exposed to userspace I'll toss a 2nd patch to the series that moves the priv_flags out of UAPI as Ben suggested as a second step. Ben's point about it being an unstable interface if userspace would rely on them is also pretty important, so not sure why we'd let anyone on userspace rely on them. I'll obviously test compile this before submitting though.
