Hi Peter,

compiling the latest net-next-2.6 i got this problem:
 
  CHECK   include/linux (358 files)
/home/hartko/net-next-2.6/usr/include/linux/ethtool.h:17: included file 'linux/rculist.h' is not exported

Which has been introduced by

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=15682bc488d4af8c9bb998844a94281025e0a333

("ethtool: Introduce n-tuple filter programming support")

The patch below fixes the issue.
