Lemme see if I understand this correctly: you'd like for the 0day folks
to take those perf-*src-pkg builds, put them on an *old* distro and see
if it builds. Am I close?

And do that with the headers in tools/ which do not have the new changes
and see if they still build?

Or?

Alternatively, we can always go back to keeping the headers in sync with
those in tools/ and f'get about it.

Thoughts?

Thx.
