yes, some headers are not installed now. so they need only to have
their api marked __rte_internal and installed (since there should be no
external consumer as a function of not being installed)
the more difficult case is where headers were installed but the api were
not marked __rte_internal and appear in the stable version.map. for
those i guess deprecation notice has to be issued before marking as
internal.
