Hi Christophe,

As Michael said on v1, I'm a little nervous about moving it out of uAPI
after so long, although I do take the points of Arnd and Kees that we're
not breaking compiled binaries, nor should people be using this struct
to begin with...

I've cc:ed the linux-api@ list.

Kind regards,
Daniel
