Subject: [PATCH ethtool 0/3] close uapi header copies w.r.t. include

On multiple occasion, build on older systems with system <linux/...>
headers missing definitions or later changes failed which we either worked
around by adding conditional defines or fixed by adding a sanitized copy of
such header to uapi/ directory.

To prevent these problems, add sanitized copies of all uapi headers that we
include from any source file or from an already present uapi header copy
(and repeat the process recursively). For this purpose, add the update
scripts to the repository, update it to add missing files automatically and
run the update.

Michal Kubecek (3):
  scripts: add ethtool-import-uapi
  scripts: add all included uapi files on update
  update UAPI header copies
