Are all those selftests / samples getting broken by this patch set?  
Yes.

Some of them get broken by the new 'struct sockaddr', but some others are
already broken just by the new transitive inclusion of libc-compat.h.
So any header starting to use the compatibility machinery may trigger breakage
in code including UAPI headers before libc header, even for completely new type
definitions which themselves would not conflict with libc.
Let's split the uAPI header changes from any selftest changes.
If you're saying the the selftests no longer build after the uAPI
header changes then of course we can't apply the patches.
