The types are exactly the same size regardless of anything. There is no reason to make such a big fuss about this, changing the CAN version etc. Also, since CAN has never shown up in a released kernel, there is nothing to be incompatible with. Finally, once CAN is in fact in a released kernel, you can't make incompatible changes to the userland visible structures. They are going to be fixed in stone. Therefore I'm going to check this in without all the version changes.
