I am not accepting this patch because all files in include/linux are automatically
regenerated from kernel 'make install_headers'. No exceptions. If you want to change
a header in include/linux it has to go through upstream kernel inclusion.

It would be wrong to add this to the actual kernel header I think.

Do you have another suggestion for fixing iproute2 compile?

Thanks,
Ben
