Here's a set of patches that inserts a step into the build process to make
sure that the UAPI headers can all be built together with C++ (if the

Wait, why do we care?  What has recently changed to start to directly

And if userspace wants to do this, can't they do the C namespace trick
themselves when they do the import?  That must be how they are doing it
today, right?
