You're dismissing the fact that the keyword collision really well might be intentional, the worst of it is that `/sys/class` siblings `bus` and `driver`, if their internal linux rep is actually in the `class.h` siblings, are called `struct bus_type` and `struct device_driver`

I'd say it was extremely intentional given this:

And that's for a userspace header.
