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:

 (1) Fix member names that conflict with C++ reserved words by providing
     alternates that can be used anywhere.  An anonymous union is used so
     that that the conflicting name is still available outside of C++.

 (2) Fix the use of flexible arrays in structs that get embedded (which is
     illegal in C++).

 (3) Remove the use of internal kernel structs in UAPI structures.

 (4) Fix symbol collisions.

 (5) Replace usage of u32 and co. with __u32 and co.

 (6) Fix use of sparsely initialised arrays (which g++ doesn't implement).

 (7) Remove some use of PAGE_SIZE since this isn't valid outside of the
     kernel.

And lastly:

 (8) Compile all of the UAPI headers (with a few exceptions) together as
     C++ to catch new errors occurring as part of the regular build
     process.

The patches can also be found here:

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++).

Note that it's based on a commit from the sound tree to fix usage of u32
and co..

Most of the patches perform fixups, including:

 (1) Fix member names that conflict with C++ reserved words by providing
     alternates that can be used anywhere.  An anonymous union is used so
     that that the conflicting name is still available outside of C++.

 (2) Fix the use of flexible arrays in structs that get embedded (which is
     illegal in C++).

 (3) Remove the use of internal kernel structs in UAPI structures.

 (4) Fix symbol collisions.

 (5) Fix use of sparsely initialised arrays (which g++ doesn't implement).

 (6) Remove some use of PAGE_SIZE since this isn't valid outside of the
     kernel.

There's also:

 (7) Move the coda_psdev.h header file to fs/coda/.

And lastly:

 (8) Compile all of the UAPI headers (with a few exceptions) together as
     C++ to catch new errors occurring as part of the regular build
     process.

Changes for v2:

 - Merge commit from sound tree to fix u32 usage issues
 - Use a switch to fix sparse array initialisation
 - Simplify nilfs2 by performing bitwise ops in LE space not CPU space
 - Handle conflicting fix to use of 'private' in keyctl.h
 - Move kernel internal coda bits to coda internal headers
 - Move coda_psdev.h header to fs/coda/.

The patches can also be found here:
