I think this will require use moving the libs directory from the root to the kernel directory. Not sure how else this will work, especially with SCons.

We can just add the kernel's public header directory to the CPPPATH and #include the header with the enum in it.

Alternatively we could wrap liballoc's API so that it returns a KernelError.

I was thinking about this a bit more and am still erring on the side of moving liballoc into the Kernel directory since the Libraries directory in the root normally implies it's a library that can be used in either kernel or user space. At least, it seems like that's how other projects like Serenity do it.
