It's not necessarily the module interface, but size of different
kernel structures.  

davfs2 uses kernel header information to determine the size of certain
coda data structures.  (This is probably an issue in itself, and it
might not be a bad thing to write davfs3 that uses
FUSE[1].. Hrm.. already exists:
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/fusedav/)

If you were to submit a patch to make using the kernel headers
optional, that might be better received.  Please include some
documentation too.
