With kernel headers 7.3, ebtables fails to build on arm64:

  [...]/sysroot/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:81:9: error: unknown type name '__u128'; did you mean '__u32'?

Linux 7.3 changed arm64's asm/sigcontext.h to use the __u128 type from
linux/types.h. ebtables bundles an old copy of linux/types.h, lacking
__u128, which shadows the one from the kernel headers.

Backport the upstream commit dropping the bundled copy. ebtables only
needs __be16 and __be32 from it, which all supported kernel headers
provide.

This issue has been present since commit b216661a73f7
("{toolchain, linux-headers}: add support for 7.3 headers"), which made
7.3 the latest kernel headers version. It only affects master, no
release or maintenance branch has 7.3 headers.

Fixes: b216661a73f7b8e21290a1bc9033e7f9b5fb230e ("{toolchain, linux-headers}: add support for 7.3 headers")

+Subject: [PATCH] include: drop bundled copy of linux/types.h
+
+The bundled include/linux/types.h is a copy of the kernel UAPI header
+from v3.16. Since the build uses -I./include, it shadows the system
+<linux/types.h>.
+
+Recent kernel UAPI headers (v7.3) changed arm64's asm/sigcontext.h,
+included via <signal.h>, to use the __u128 type from linux/types.h:
+
+  -	__uint128_t vregs[32];
+  +	__u128 vregs[32];
+
+The stale copy lacks __u128, so the build fails on arm64:
+
+  /usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/asm/sigcontext.h:81:9: error: unknown
+  type name '__u128'; did you mean '__u32'?
+
+The system header provides everything the bundled copy did, so drop it.
