Subject: [PATCH 25/40] UAPI: Fix u_quad_t ordering problem in linux/coda.h
 [ver #3]

There's an ordering problem around the definition of u_quad_t in linux/coda.h:
the definition in the kernel-specific header is referred to in the
user-specific header data structures.  When compiling userspace, the
user-specific header provides an alternate version of u_quad_t.

To get around this problem, place a marker specifically to indicate the point
at which the UAPI header should be included in the kernel-specific file.  The
marker will be deleted later.
