I forgot :-)  I added RFC just to hopefully get some attention as this
is just the start of a long slow use of my "spare" time.

Yeah, well, we all know the simplest patches usually cause the most pain :-)

However, I have been fairly careful and it is an easy include file to
work with.  And I have done my usual build checks, so the linux-next
maintainer won't complain about build problems :-)

I would like to hear from Arnd, at least, as I don't want to step on
his toes (he is having a larger look at our include files).
