    Description

      Currently a user land utility req-layout does evil things like include layout.c from the ptlrpc layout into its user land source file. This ends up pull lots of unnecessary kernel code into user land as well as libcfs kernel headers. If we really need the req-layout tool this it would be better to export the data via debugfs. The question also is this utility really needed anymore. The other option is to delete req-layout.c
