Apologies for anything I've said so far that has been harsh. I'd like this discussion to be civil.
I'm not sure if Simon is still on board with a patch given his thumbs up to Erik's comment on the Mesa merge request (which I responded to), but I would also like to know why adding another header file is problematic. I would prefer to keep the definitions deduplicated and make the code robust even for edge cases unless there's a good reason not to. Avoiding an extra file doesn't seem like a good enough reason to me, but I also don't have to maintain codebases that rely on these headers, so maybe there's something I'm overlooking.
Thanks, James

As said before, there are multiple ways to handle this without introducing yet another UAPI header. I don't see why you're dismissing all of them, can you elaborate?
Because I hate it when I have to adjust my compiler flags because of some third-party header.
Can you explain what were the past issues with introducing a new header?
