By the way, is it possible that scripts/ and similar stuff uses
directly include/linux/compiler_attributes.h (whenever it hits
mainline, see https://github.com/ojeda/linux/blob/compiler-attributes/include/linux/compiler_attributes.h
)? It is a header that does not depend on anything, so it could easily
be shared; and would avoid having to maintain two sets of attributes.
Let me know, I can take a look at it if you think it is a good idea.

Cheers,
Miguel
