> This patch introduces uAPI headers import into the DPDK
> repository. This import is possible thanks to Linux Kernel
> licence exception for syscalls:
>
> https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/
> LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note
>
> Header files are have to be explicitly imported, and
> libraries and drivers have to explicitly enable their
> 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
