Some files in RTEMS use the kernel-space headers:

cpukit/score/src/kern_tc.c:#define      _KERNEL
cpukit/score/src/kern_ntptime.c:#define _KERNEL
testsuites/sptests/sppps01/init.c:#define _KERNEL
testsuites/sptests/sptimecounter02/init.c:#define _KERNEL

They use the kernel-space time support. The network stack only files 
could be probably moved. Right now everything works fine, so I am not 
sure if it is worth the potential trouble.

The smp* header can be moved to the smplock01 test.
