It pulls in skbuff.h, so are you willing to bet forever that skbuff.h
won't indirectly pull in netdevice.h at some point in the future?

This is obviously a big problem, having global namespace conflicts
like this.

Pushing fixing it propering into the future isn't really the right
thing to do.

So please entertain my request to do this properly.

Thank you.
