Arnaldo is on vacation now, and I'm taking care of the patches
on behalf of him.

As it's introduced in the networking tree, it should be fine to
carry the fix together.  I'll sync the header later.

But in general you don't need to change the copy of the tools
headers together.  It also needs to support old & new kernels
so different care should be taken.  Please separate tooling
changes and let us handle them.

Thanks,
