Here's a set of patches that inserts a step into the build process to make sure that the UAPI headers can all be built together with C++ (if the compiler being used supports C++). All but the final patch perform fixups, including:

Wait, why do we care? What has recently changed to start to directly import kernel uapi files into C++ code?
