how about someone fixing the dumb scripts to understand that C header
includes aren't single level.

Like 10 people have posted this patch and not one has come back with a
fix for the app after I pointed it out, like really if people think
they can write C good enough to send kernel patches,
maybe they could put some more effort in and actually fix a real problem.

We should start hashing signed-off-by's so people can't get any glory from them.
