> Header files are have to be explicitly imported, and

> inclusion.

> Guidelines are provided in the documentation, and helper
> scripts are also provided to ensure proper importation of the
> header (unmodified content from a released Kernel version):
>  - import-linux-uapi.sh: used to download and install a given
> header to linux-headers/uapi/
>  - check-linux-uapi.sh: used to check all headers are valid
