no, I suppose that this header is some of the old netlink interface, but
I can't be sure here. I can't be sure because I don't know what was the
functionality/why you need  that in your application.


In short:

We don't deliever any headers to uapi for userspace. If you need headers
for userspace<->kernelspace communication you need to grab them on your
own out of your current kernel source tree. What I mean is that we
didn't change any in our uapi headers which are deliviered by
kernel-headers because we don't have any headers which laying inside
"include/uapi" tree right now.
