Hi Linus,

here is the C++ guards warning fix from Arnd.

So why the hell do we have C++ guards in kernel headers?

uapi headers. See [1] for the cover letter to the patches with rationale.

Short summary: We want to directly reuse the headers generated by make headers_install for the userspace side of gpu drivers, and at least some driver teams use C++ for the compilers in there. -Daniel
