You can only use kernel-space functions in kernel code, that is, writing a kernel module, or writing a piece of code that is to be compiled along with the rest in src/sys. If you're doing that, look at some kernel source files to see which header files need to be included. If you're not doing that, you cannot use the functions documented in section 9.
